Slope Assessment

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

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

Back

The slope 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 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 the line passing through the points (2, 3) and (5, 7)?

Back

m = (7 - 3) / (5 - 2) = 4 / 3.

Front

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-1, -2) and (3, 2)?

Back

m = (2 - (-2)) / (3 - (-1)) = 4 / 4 = 1.

Front

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (0, 0) and (4, 4)?

Back

m = (4 - 0) / (4 - 0) = 4 / 4 = 1.

Front

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (1, 2) and (1, 5)?

Back

The slope is undefined because the x-coordinates are the same.

Front

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (3, 4) and (3, 1)?

Back

The slope is undefined because the x-coordinates are the same.
