Mod 5 Lesson 6 Review

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Front

How do you find the y-intercept of a line given the equation in standard form?

Back

Set x = 0 and solve for y.

Front

How do you find the x-intercept of a line given the equation in standard form?

Back

Set y = 0 and solve for x.

Front

What does 'rise/run' represent in the context of slope?

Back

'Rise' is the change in y, and 'run' is the change in x.

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (4,-7) and (2,-7)?

Back

The slope is m = 0.

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-6,2) and (-5,-2)?

Back

The slope is m = -4.

Front

What is the best expression for finding the slope from a graph?

Back

The best expression is 'rise/run'.

Front

What does a slope of 1 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 1 indicates that the line rises one unit for every one unit it runs.

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.
