The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, usually represented as 'm' in the equation of a line (y = mx + b). It is calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise/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
What does a positive slope indicate about a line?
Back
A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?
Back
A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

What is the slope of a vertical line?
Back
The slope of a vertical line is undefined because the change in x is zero, leading to division by zero.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the slope of a horizontal line?
Back
The slope of a horizontal line is 0 because there is no change in y as x changes.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the equation of a line in slope-intercept form?
Back
The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
