Graded Assignment on Slope and Y-Intercept

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, calculated as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on the line.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, resulting in an upward trend.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, resulting in a downward trend.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of y when x=0.
