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 rise (vertical change) to the run (horizontal change).

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-values increase, the y-values also increase, resulting in an upward slant from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-values increase, the y-values decrease, resulting in a downward slant from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is zero.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

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

Front

What is the slope and y-intercept of the equation y = 2x + 5?

Back

Slope: 2, y-intercept: (0, 5).

Front

If the slope of a line is 3, what does this mean?

Back

This means that for every 3 units the line rises, it runs 1 unit to the right.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -4x + 1?

Back

The slope is -4.
