The slope of a linear function is a measure of the steepness or incline of the line, calculated as the change in the y-values divided by the change in the x-values (rise over run).
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you calculate the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?
Back
The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If a line has a slope of 2, what does this mean in terms of rise and run?
Back
A slope of 2 means that for every 1 unit you move to the right (run), the line rises 2 units (rise).

Front
What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 3x + 1?
Back
The slope of the line is 3, which is the coefficient of x in the equation.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How can you determine the slope from a graph?
Back
To determine the slope from a graph, select two points on the line, calculate the rise (change in y) and run (change in x), and then use the formula slope = rise/run.
