Slope

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 (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line.

Front

How do you calculate the slope of a line?

Back

Slope is calculated using the formula: Slope (m) = Rise / Run.

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as you move from left to right on the graph, the line rises.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as you move from left to right on the graph, the line falls.

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.
