What is the definition of slope in mathematics?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on the line.

Front

What does it mean for triangles to be similar?

Back

Similar triangles have the same shape but may differ in size. Their corresponding angles are equal, and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

Front

If two triangles are similar, what can be said about their corresponding slopes?

Back

The slopes of the corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.

Front

How do you identify corresponding sides in similar triangles?

Back

Corresponding sides in similar triangles are the sides that are in the same relative position in each triangle.

What is the slope of a line that has a vertical change of 6 and a horizontal change of 3?

Back

Front

What is the relationship between the slopes of two parallel lines?

Back

The slopes of two parallel lines are equal.

Front

What is the relationship between the slopes of two perpendicular lines?

Back

The slopes of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.
