Slope Formula Practice

Front

What is the slope formula?

Back

The slope formula is given by \( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \), where \( (x_1, y_1) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) \) are two points on a line.

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 4) and (6, 12).

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-5, 3) and (-1, 0).

Back

The slope is -\frac{3}{4}.

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-1, -9) and (5, -6).

Back

The slope is \frac{1}{2}.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises as it moves from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line falls as it moves from left to right.
