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 (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

Find the slope between the points (3, 7) and (-4, 2).

Back

The slope is 5/7.

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (4, -3) and (9, 2).

Back

The slope is 1.

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.

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, -19) and (-2, -7).

Back

The slope is -4.

Front

What is the slope of a line if the rise is 2 and the run is 3?

Back

The slope is 2/3.
