Slope Practice

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

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

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 slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical.

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

The slope-intercept form is given by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

If a line has a slope of 7/5, what does this mean in terms of rise and run?

Back

For every 7 units of rise, there are 5 units of run.

Front

What is the slope of a line that goes down from left to right?

Back

The slope is negative.

Front

What is the slope of a line that goes up from left to right?

Back

The slope is positive.

Front

If a line has a slope of -1, what does this indicate about the rise and run?

Back

For every 1 unit of rise, there is 1 unit of run in the negative direction.

Front

What is the relationship between parallel lines and their slopes?

Back

Parallel lines have the same slope.
