Day 66 - Identify the type of slope

Front

What is the definition of a positive slope?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, resulting in an upward trend on a graph.

Front

What is the definition of a negative slope?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, resulting in a downward trend on a graph.

Front

What does a zero slope represent?

Back

A zero slope represents a horizontal line where the y-value remains constant as the x-value changes.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line where the x-value remains constant, and the slope cannot be calculated.

Front

How can you identify a positive slope on a graph?

Back

A positive slope can be identified by a line that rises from left to right.

Front

How can you identify a negative slope on a graph?

Back

A negative slope can be identified by a line that falls from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is zero.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

If a line passes through the points (1, 2) and (3, 4), what is the slope?

Back

The slope is positive, calculated as (4-2)/(3-1) = 2/2 = 1.

Front

If a line passes through the points (2, 5) and (2, 3), what is the slope?

Back

The slope is undefined, as the x-values are the same.
