Define slope in mathematical terms.

Back

Slope is the ratio of the rise (change in y) to the run (change in x) between two points on a line.

Front

What is the formula to calculate slope?

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises as it moves from left to right.
