Slope Review

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, typically represented as 'm' in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation.

Front

How do you calculate the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (4, 7)?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical.

Front

If a line has a positive slope, what does that tell you about the direction of the line?

Back

A positive slope means the line rises from left to right.

Front

If a line has a negative slope, what does that tell you about the direction of the line?

Back

A negative slope means the line falls from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 2) and (1, 5)?

Back

The slope is undefined.

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, -4) and (7, 6)?

Back

The slope is 1.

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2, 8) and (0, 8)?

Back

The slope is 0.
