(U5|L8 WU) Slope

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

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

If a line rises from left to right, what type of slope does it have?

Back

The line has a positive slope.

Front

If a line falls from left to right, what type of slope does it have?

Back

The line has a negative slope.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 3x + 2?

Back

The slope is 3.

Front

What does a slope of 1 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 1 indicates that for every unit increase in x, y increases by the same amount, resulting in a 45-degree angle.

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (4, 7)?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 2) and (1, 5)?

Back

The slope is undefined.
