Favela's rise over run

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, usually represented as 'm'. It is calculated as the change in the y-coordinate divided by the change in the x-coordinate (rise/run).

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 does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

Front

What is a zero slope?

Back

A zero slope indicates a horizontal line where there is no change in the y-value as the x-value changes.

Front

What is an undefined slope?

Back

An undefined slope occurs with a vertical line where the x-value does not change, leading to division by zero in the slope formula.

Front

If a line has a slope of 2, what does this mean?

Back

A slope of 2 means that for every 1 unit increase in x, the y-value increases by 2 units.

Front

If a line has a slope of -4/3, what does this indicate?

Back

A slope of -4/3 indicates that for every 3 units increase in x, the y-value decreases by 4 units.

Front

What type of slope does a line that goes upwards from left to right have?

Back

A line that goes upwards from left to right has a positive slope.

Front

What type of slope does a line that goes downwards from left to right have?

Back

A line that goes downwards from left to right has a negative slope.
