Front

What is the slope?

Back

The slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x.

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases.
