FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Back
5/6
Answer explanation
The slope is calculated as the ratio of the change in y to the change in x. In this case, the correct slope is 5/6, which represents the rise over run in the given context.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the slope?
Back
-1/4
Answer explanation
The slope is calculated as the change in y over the change in x. A slope of -1/4 indicates a decrease in y as x increases, which matches the correct answer. Thus, the slope is -1/4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Back
Answer explanation
The slope formula calculates the steepness of a line using two points. It is given by \(\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\), which represents the change in y over the change in x. This is the correct choice.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the slope of a line that passes through the points (0, 1) and (2, 6)?
Back
m = 5/2
Answer explanation
To find the slope (m) between points (0, 1) and (2, 6), use the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Here, m = (6 - 1) / (2 - 0) = 5 / 2. Thus, the correct answer is m = 5/2.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Find the slope given the points (-5,-3) and (2,4).
Back
1
Answer explanation
To find the slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), use the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Here, m = (4 - (-3)) / (2 - (-5)) = 7 / 7 = 1. Thus, the correct answer is 1.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Find the slope given the points (1,4) and (5,9).
Back
5/4
Answer explanation
To find the slope (m) between points (1,4) and (5,9), use the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Here, m = (9 - 4) / (5 - 1) = 5 / 4. Thus, the correct answer is 5/4.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Find the slope when given (2, 3) (3, 5)
Back
2
Answer explanation
To find the slope between points (2, 3) and (3, 5), use the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Here, (5 - 3) / (3 - 2) = 2/1 = 2. Thus, the slope is 2.
