Slope is defined as the ratio of the rise (vertical change) to the run (horizontal change) between two points on a line.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-values increase, the y-values also increase, meaning the line rises from left to right.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-values increase, the y-values decrease, meaning the line falls from left to right.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula to calculate the slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The formula for slope is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If the coordinates of two points are (2, 3) and (4, 7), what is the slope?

Back

The slope is m = (7 - 3) / (4 - 2) = 4/2 = 2.
