What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

Front

What does a zero slope indicate about a line?

Back

A zero slope indicates that the line is horizontal, meaning there is no change in y as x changes.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical, meaning there is no change in x as y changes.
