FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the slope formula?

Back

The slope formula is given by \( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \), where \( (x_1, y_1) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) \) are two points on a line.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Calculate the slope between the points (-3, 5) and (-3, 2).

Back

The slope is undefined because the x-coordinates are the same, indicating a vertical line.
