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.

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.

Front

What does a zero slope indicate?

Back

A zero slope indicates a horizontal line, where the y-value remains constant as the x-value changes.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line, where the x-value remains constant as the y-value changes.

Front

What is the slope of the line through the points (1, 2) and (3, 6)?

Back

Front

What is the slope of the line through the points (0, 5) and (4, 5)?

Back

Front

What is the slope of the line through the points (2, 3) and (2, 7)?

Back

The slope is undefined because the x-values are the same, indicating a vertical line.

In the equation of a line y = mx + b, what does 'm' represent?

Back

In the equation y = mx + b, 'm' represents the slope of the line.
