Slope & Slope Formula

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, usually represented as 'm'. It is calculated as the change in the y-coordinate divided by the change in the x-coordinate between two points on the line.

Front

How do you calculate the slope using 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 formula?

Back

The slope formula is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2,3) and (2,5)?

Back

undefined (vertical line).

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-coordinate increases, the y-coordinate also increases.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-coordinate increases, the y-coordinate decreases.
