What is the slope?

Back

The slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the rise over run between two points on the line.

What does a slope of 1/4 indicate?

Back

A slope of 1/4 indicates that for every 4 units you move horizontally to the right, the line rises 1 unit.

Front

How do you find the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0, indicating no vertical change as you move along the line.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined, as it does not have a defined rise over run.

If a line has a negative slope, what does that indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as you move from left to right, the line falls.

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

Back

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

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of b in the slope-intercept form.
