Slope from points

Front

What is the formula to calculate the slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean if the slope of a line is undefined?

Back

The line is vertical, meaning it goes straight up and down.

Front

Calculate the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (2, 5).

Back

undefined

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

0

Front

If the slope of a line is negative, what does that indicate about the line's direction?

Back

The line descends from left to right.

Front

Calculate the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 2) and (4, 5).

Back

m = 1.

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, 7) and (3, 1)?

Back

undefined

Front

If a line has a slope of 1/2, what does this mean in terms of rise over run?

Back

For every 2 units you move horizontally (run), you move up 1 unit (rise).

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (0, 0) and (4, 8)?

Back

m = 2.

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

The line is horizontal.
