Slope & Slope-Intercept 1

Front

What is the slope of a line?

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 given by the formula: m = (change in y) / (change in x).

Front

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

Back

The slope can be calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

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.

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.
