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).

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line, where the x-values are constant and the y-values can vary.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0, indicating that the y-value remains constant as the x-value changes.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'b' represent?

Back

In the equation y = mx + b, 'b' represents the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
