Slope & Slope Intercept

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the ratio of the rise (vertical change) to the run (horizontal change).

Front

How do you calculate slope using a graph?

Back

Slope is calculated using the formula: slope = rise over run.

Front

In the equation y=mx+b, what does the 'm' represent?

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

What is the relationship between rise and run in slope?

Back

Slope is known as rise/run.

Front

What is the slope in the equation y=2x + 3?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises as it moves from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line falls as it moves from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

How can you identify the slope from a graph?

Back

You can identify the slope by selecting two points on the line and calculating the rise over run.
