Types of slope

Front

What is a slope?

Back

A slope is a measure of how steep a line is on a graph, indicating the rate of change between two points.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases.

Front

What does an undefined slope mean?

Back

An undefined slope occurs when a line is vertical, meaning there is no change in the x-value.

Front

How many types of slopes are there?

Back

There are three main types of slopes: positive, negative, and undefined.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0, indicating no change in the y-value.

Front

If a line rises from left to right, what type of slope does it have?

Back

It has a positive slope.

Front

If a line falls from left to right, what type of slope does it have?

Back

It has a negative slope.

Front

How can you determine the slope from two points on a line?

Back

The slope can be calculated using the formula: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
