Slope Review

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (12 - 4) / (6 - 2) = 2.

Front

What is the slope formula?

Back

The slope formula is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.

Front

Fill in the blank: Slope is known as rise over ________.

Back

run.

Front

Calculate the slope of the line represented by the table of values: (1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 6), (4, 8).

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises as it moves from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line falls as it moves from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

If a line has a slope of 3, what does this mean in terms of rise and run?

Back

For every 3 units the line rises, it runs 1 unit to the right.

Front

Calculate the slope of the line represented by the points (0, 0) and (4, 8).

Back

The slope is 2.
