FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you calculate the slope of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?
Back
The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the rate of change in a linear function?
Back
The rate of change in a linear function is the same as the slope, representing how much the output (y) changes for a given change in the input (x).
