Front

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

Back

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Front

If the slope of a line is 0, what does this indicate about the line?

Back

The line is horizontal.

Front

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about the relationship between x and y?

Back

As x increases, y increases.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about the relationship between x and y?

Back

As x increases, y decreases.
