Front

What type of slope does a line with a positive slope have?

Back

A line with a positive slope rises from left to right.

Front

What type of slope does a line with a negative slope have?

Back

A line with a negative slope falls from left to right.

Front

What does a zero slope indicate about a line?

Back

A zero slope indicates a horizontal line, meaning there is no vertical change as you move along the line.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line, meaning there is no horizontal change as you move along the line.

Front

How can you identify a positive slope on a graph?

Back

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

Front

What type of slope does a horizontal line have?

Back

A horizontal line has a zero slope.

Front

What type of slope does a vertical line have?

Back

A vertical line has an undefined slope.
