Slope

Front

What is the definition of 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) between two points on the line.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

Find the slope of the line through the points (5,-2) and (-4,16).

Back

Front

What type of slope is represented by a line that rises from left to right?

Back

Positive slope.

Front

What type of slope is represented by a line that falls from left to right?

Back

Negative slope.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

If the slope of a line is positive, what does that indicate about the relationship between the x and y values?

Back

As x increases, y also increases.

Front

If the slope of a line is negative, what does that indicate about the relationship between the x and y values?

Back

As x increases, y decreases.
