Slope-positive or negative

Front

What is 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).

What is the formula for calculating slope?

Back

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 zero slope?

Back

Zero slope indicates a horizontal line where there is no vertical change as the x-value changes.

Front

What is undefined slope?

Back

Undefined slope occurs in vertical lines where the run is zero, leading to division by zero in the slope formula.

Front

If a line rises from left to right, what type of slope does it have?

Back

The line has a positive slope.

Front

If a line falls from left to right, what type of slope does it have?

Back

The line has a negative slope.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is zero.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
