FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the definition of slope in a linear equation?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, typically represented as 'm' in the equation of a line (y = mx + b). It is calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise/run).

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you calculate the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal, meaning there is no change in y as x changes.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about the direction of a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line descends from left to right, meaning as x increases, y decreases.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical, meaning there is no change in x as y changes.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented as 'b' in the equation y = mx + b.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How can you identify the slope from the equation of a line in slope-intercept form?

Back

In the slope-intercept form of a line (y = mx + b), the slope is the coefficient 'm' of x.
