Slope From A Table

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on the line.

Front

How do you calculate the slope from a table of values?

Back

To calculate the slope from a table, use the formula: Slope (m) = (change in y) / (change in x) between two points.

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line, meaning there is no vertical change as the horizontal change occurs.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line, where there is no horizontal change, leading to division by zero.

Front

If the slope is positive, what does that mean about the line?

Back

A positive slope means that as x increases, y also increases, indicating an upward trend.

Front

If the slope is negative, what does that mean about the line?

Back

A negative slope means that as x increases, y decreases, indicating a downward trend.

Front

What is the slope of a line that rises 3 units for every 1 unit it runs?

Back

The slope is 3.

Front

What is the slope of a line that falls 2 units for every 4 units it runs?

Back

The slope is -1/2.

Front

What type of slope does a line that goes straight up have?

Back

The slope is undefined.

Front

What type of slope does a line that goes straight across have?

Back

The slope is 0.
