Slope = Rise over Run

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run).

Front

What does 'rise' refer to in the context of slope?

Back

'Rise' refers to the vertical change between two points on a line.

Front

What does 'run' refer to in the context of slope?

Back

'Run' refers to the horizontal change between two points on a line.

Front

How do you calculate the slope of a line?

Back

Slope (m) = Rise / Run.

Front

If a line rises 3 units and runs 4 units, what is the slope?

Back

Slope = 3/4.

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

If a line falls as it moves from left to right, what can you say about its slope?

Back

The slope is negative.

Front

What is the slope of a line that goes up 5 units and runs 2 units to the right?

Back

Slope = 5/2.

Front

How does the slope affect the graph of a line?

Back

The slope determines the angle of the line; steeper slopes indicate a greater angle.
