How is slope calculated?

Back

Slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

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