Finding slope from Two-Points

Front

What is the formula to find the slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

Front

What does a slope of zero mean?

Back

A slope of zero means the line is horizontal, indicating that there is no change in the y-coordinate as the x-coordinate changes.

Front

What does an undefined slope mean?

Back

An undefined slope occurs when the line is vertical, indicating that there is no change in the x-coordinate as the y-coordinate changes.
