Identify Slope Types

Front

What is a positive slope?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases. It is represented by a line that rises 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. It is represented by a line that falls from left to right.

Front

What is a zero slope?

Back

A zero slope indicates that there is no change in the y-value as the x-value changes. It is represented by a horizontal line.

Front

What is an undefined slope?

Back

An undefined slope occurs when a vertical line is drawn, meaning the x-value does not change while the y-value does.

Front

What does a slope of zero indicate about a graph?

Back

It indicates that the graph is a horizontal line, meaning there is no vertical change as the horizontal change occurs.

What does an undefined slope indicate about a graph?

Back

It indicates that the graph is a vertical line, meaning there is no horizontal change as the vertical change occurs.
