Slopes

Front

What is the slope?

Back

The slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, calculated as the ratio of the rise (vertical change) to the run (horizontal change).

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through (10, -8) and (1, 12).

Back

The slope is -20/9.

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through (5, -10) and (5, -4).

Back

The slope is undefined because the line is vertical.

run.

Front

What is the slope?

Back

The slope is 1.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

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

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

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

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

Back

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