Slope from 2 Points

Front

What is the formula to calculate the slope (m) 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 that passes through the points (1, 2) and (3, 4).

Back

The slope is 1.

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical.

Front

Calculate the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (5, 11).

Back

The slope is 8/3.

Front

If the slope of a line is negative, what does that indicate about the direction of the line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line is decreasing from left to right.

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (4, 5) and (4, 9).

Back

The slope is undefined.

Front

What is the slope of a line that rises 3 units for every 2 units it runs?

Back

The slope is 3/2.

Front

Calculate the slope of the line that passes through the points (0, 0) and (5, 5).

Back

The slope is 1.

Front

If a line has a slope of 2, what does this mean in terms of rise and run?

Back

For every 1 unit the line runs to the right, it rises 2 units.
