Types of Slope

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 line 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 line from left to right.

Front

What does a zero slope represent?

Back

A zero slope represents 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 while the y-value changes.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

Identify the slope of the line represented by the points (1, 2) and (3, 5).

Back

Slope = (5 - 2) / (3 - 1) = 3/2.

Front

What is the slope of a line that goes up 2 units and right 3 units?

Back

The slope is 2/3.

Front

What is the slope of a line that goes down 3 units and right 2 units?

Back

The slope is -3/2.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what can you say about its graph?

Back

The graph is a horizontal line.

Front

If a line has an undefined slope, what can you say about its graph?

Back

The graph is a vertical line.
