Favela's rise over run

Front

What is the definition of slope in mathematics?

Back

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

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a graph?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, showing an upward trend.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a graph?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, showing a downward trend.

Front

What does a zero slope indicate about a graph?

Back

A zero slope indicates that the line is horizontal, meaning there is no change in the y-value as the x-value changes.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a graph?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical, meaning the x-value does not change while the y-value changes.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

If a line has a slope of 4/5, what does this mean?

Back

This means that for every 5 units moved horizontally to the right, the line moves up 4 units.

Front

What is the slope of a line that goes down from left to right?

Back

The slope is negative.

Front

What is the slope of a line that goes up from left to right?

Back

The slope is positive.

Front

If a line is horizontal, what is its slope?

Back

The slope is zero.
