Slope-Intercept Form

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, usually represented as 'm' in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation. It is calculated as the change in y (rise) over the change in x (run).

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.

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.

Front

What is an undefined slope?

Back

An undefined slope occurs in a vertical line where the change in x is zero, leading to division by zero in the slope formula.

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that mean?

Back

A slope of 0 means the line is horizontal, indicating that the y-value remains constant regardless of the x-value.
