Slope & Slope-Intercept

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, usually represented as 'm'. It is calculated as the ratio of the rise (change in y) over the run (change in x).

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.

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.
