What is slope?

Back

Slope is best described as the steepness of a line.

Front

How do you find the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.

Front

What does 'm' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

What does 'b' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

'b' represents the y-intercept of the line.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

How can you determine the slope from two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of a positive slope?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases.
