Slope Practice - Algebra 1

Front

What is the slope of a line in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x.

Front

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

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases.

Front

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

Back

The slope is 4.

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 4) and (6, 12).

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

If the slope of a line is 5/4, what is the change in y for a change in x of 4?

Back

The change in y is 5.

Front

If m = 3 and the point (1, 3) is on the line, what is the y-coordinate of the point (-1, y)?

Back

The y-coordinate is -3.
