Slope

Front

What is slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as 'm' in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation.

Front

How is slope calculated between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical.

4/3

Front

What are the four types of slope?

Back

1. Positive Slope 2. Negative Slope 3. Zero Slope 4. Undefined Slope

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases.
