What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as a ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, showing an upward trend.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, showing a downward trend.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is zero, indicating no vertical change as the x-value changes.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined, as there is no horizontal change.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What type of slope is represented by a line that goes up from left to right?

Back

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

Front

What type of slope is represented by a line that goes down from left to right?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of a situation with zero slope?

Back

An example of zero slope is a flat road or a horizontal line.

Front

What is an example of a situation with undefined slope?

Back

An example of undefined slope is a vertical pole or a vertical line.
