Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

The line rises from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

The line falls from left to right.

Front

If the slope of a line is 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

If a line has a slope of -3, what does this indicate about its steepness?

Back
