Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, calculated as the change in the vertical direction (rise) divided by the change in the horizontal direction (run).
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you calculate the slope from two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?
Back
Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does a positive slope indicate about a line?
Back
A positive slope indicates that as the x-values increase, the y-values also increase, meaning the line rises from left to right.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does a negative slope indicate about a line?
Back
A negative slope indicates that as the x-values increase, the y-values decrease, meaning the line falls from left to right.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does a slope of zero mean?
Back
A slope of zero means the line is horizontal and there is no change in the y-value as the x-value changes.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does an undefined slope mean?
Back
An undefined slope occurs in a vertical line where the x-value does not change, leading to division by zero in the slope formula.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If a line has a slope of -2, what does this tell you about its steepness?
Back
A slope of -2 indicates that for every 1 unit increase in the x-direction, the y-value decreases by 2 units, making the line steep and descending.
