SLOPE - TEST Dec 2025

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 does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-coordinate increases, the y-coordinate also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.

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, meaning the line falls from left to right.

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

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

Back

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

Front

What does it mean if a line has an undefined slope?

Back

An undefined slope means the line is vertical, and there is no horizontal change between the two points.

Front

What is the slope of a line that goes down from left to right?

Back

The slope of a line that goes down from left to right is negative.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does it look like on a graph?

Back

A line with a slope of 0 is horizontal and does not rise or fall.

Front

What is the relationship between slope and rate of change?

Back

Slope represents the rate of change of the dependent variable (y) with respect to the independent variable (x).
