SLOPE stuff

Front

What is the slope?

Back

The slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, represented as 'm' in the equation y = mx.

Front

What does the letter 'm' represent in the equation y = mx?

Back

The letter 'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

Can an equation of slope be written in the form: y = mx?

Back

True, this is the standard form of a linear equation where 'm' is the slope.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 2x?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

If a line goes through the origin, what can we say about its slope?

Back

If it goes through the origin and is in the form y = mx, it has a slope 'm'.

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 an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the slope of a line that rises 3 units for every 2 units it runs?

Back

The slope is 3/2.

Front

What is the y-intercept in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0, represented by 'b'.
