Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

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?

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 does a slope of zero mean?

Back

A slope of zero means the line is horizontal, indicating that there is no change in y as x changes.

Front

What does an undefined slope mean?

Back

An undefined slope occurs when a line is vertical, meaning there is no change in x as y changes.

Front

Calculate the slope between the points (1, 2) and (1, -5).

Back

The slope is undefined because the x-coordinates are the same, indicating a vertical line.

Front

Calculate the slope between the points (-3, 2) and (3, 0).

Calculate the slope between the points (2, 3) and (5, 11).

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 2x + 3?

Back

The slope is 2, which means for every unit increase in x, y increases by 2.
