What is the definition of slope in mathematics?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as 'm' in the equation of a line (y = mx + b). It is calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise/run).

FLASHCARD QUESTION

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).

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined because the change in x is 0, leading to division by zero.
