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

What is a positive slope?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, resulting in an upward slant from left to right.

Front

What is a negative slope?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, resulting in a downward slant from left to right.

Front

What is zero slope?

Back

Zero slope indicates a horizontal line where there is no vertical change as the x-value changes.

Front

What is an undefined slope?

Back

An undefined slope occurs in a vertical line where there is no horizontal change, making the slope calculation impossible.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What type of slope does a line with coordinates (2, 3) and (2, 5) have?

Back

Undefined slope.

Front

What type of slope does a line with coordinates (1, 1) and (3, 3) have?

Back

Positive slope.

Front

What type of slope does a line with coordinates (1, 3) and (4, 1) have?

Back

Negative slope.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.
