Slope Review

Front

What is an undefined slope?

Back

An undefined slope occurs when a line is vertical, meaning it goes straight up and down. It does not have a slope value.

Front

What is a positive slope?

Back

A positive slope means that as you move from left to right on a graph, the line rises. It indicates a direct relationship between the two variables.

Front

What is a negative slope?

Back

A negative slope means that as you move from left to right on a graph, the line falls. It indicates an inverse relationship between the two variables.

Front

What is a zero slope?

Back

A zero slope occurs when a line is horizontal, meaning it does not rise or fall as you move along it.

Front

How do you find the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line can be found by taking the difference in the y-coordinates and dividing it by the difference in the x-coordinates of two points on the line.

Front

What does it mean if a line rises to the right?

Back

If a line rises to the right, it has a positive slope.

Front

What does it mean if a line falls to the right?

Back

If a line falls to the right, it has a negative slope.

Front

What type of slope does a vertical line have?

Back

A vertical line has an undefined slope.

Front

What type of slope does a horizontal line have?

Back

A horizontal line has a zero slope.

Front

If a line contains points in Quadrant I and Quadrant III, what type of slope does it have?

Back

It has a negative slope.
