1-3 Slope

Front

In which quadrant are both coordinates negative, for example (-1, -7)?

Back

3 (III)

Answer explanation

Both coordinates are negative in the third quadrant (III). In this quadrant, the x-values and y-values are both less than zero, making it the correct choice for points like (-1, -7).

Front

What type of slope?

Back

negative

Answer explanation

A negative slope indicates that as one variable increases, the other decreases. This is the correct choice, as it describes a downward trend in the graph.

Front

What type of slope?

Back

zero slope

Answer explanation

A zero slope indicates a horizontal line where there is no change in the y-value as the x-value changes. This means the line remains constant, confirming that the correct answer is zero slope.

Front

What type of slope?

Back

undefined

Answer explanation

An undefined slope occurs when a line is vertical, meaning it has no defined rise over run. This is the correct choice, as the other options describe different types of slopes that do not apply here.

Front

What is the slope in the picture?

Back

Negative

Answer explanation

The slope is negative because the line in the picture descends from left to right, indicating a decrease in value as you move along the x-axis. Therefore, the correct answer is Negative.

How do you determine the slope of a line in slope-intercept form?

Back

the coefficient of the x variable

Answer explanation

In slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), the slope is represented by the coefficient of the x variable (m). This value indicates the steepness and direction of the line.

What does "m" represent in y=mx+b?

Back

slope

Front

Find the slope:
y = 2x + 3

Back

2

Answer explanation

The slope of a linear equation in the form y = mx + b is given by m. In the equation y = 2x + 3, the coefficient of x is 2, which means the slope is 2. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.
