The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, typically represented by the letter 'm'. It is calculated as the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you calculate the slope using two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?
Back
The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does a positive slope indicate about a line?
Back
A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does a negative slope indicate about a line?
Back
A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does a slope of zero mean?
Back
A slope of zero means the line is horizontal, indicating that there is no vertical change as the x-value changes.

What does an undefined slope mean?
Back
An undefined slope occurs in vertical lines, where the x-value does not change, leading to a division by zero in the slope formula.
