Slope repitition

Front

What is the definition of slope in mathematics?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line's direction?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line falls from left to right.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line's direction?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is zero.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

Given the points (2, 3) and (5, 9), what is the slope?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

Back

The slope is positive, specifically 1/5.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what can be said about its graph?

Back

The graph of the line is horizontal.

Front

If a line has a slope of 2, what does this mean in terms of rise and run?

Back

For every 2 units of rise, there is a 1 unit run.
