Slope and Slope Intercept Practice

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the rise (change in y) over the run (change in x).

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The slope (m) is the coefficient of x in the equation.

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.

Front

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

Back

The slope is -2.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 4x - 1?

Back

The slope is 4.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

How do you write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form?

Back

The equation is written as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
