FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Back
The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, typically represented as 'm' in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, which is defined as the ratio of the rise (change in y) over the run (change in x).
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you find the slope from two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?
Back
The slope (m) can be calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?
Back
The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is given by the formula: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does a positive slope indicate about a line?
Back
A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does a negative slope indicate about a line?
Back
A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the slope of a horizontal line?
Back
The slope of a horizontal line is 0, indicating that there is no change in the y-value as the x-value changes.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the slope of a vertical line?
Back
The slope of a vertical line is undefined because the change in x is 0, leading to division by zero in the slope formula.
