Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the ratio of the rise (vertical change) to the run (horizontal change).

Front

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

What does the slope indicate in a linear equation?

Back

The slope indicates how much the y-value changes for a one-unit change in the x-value.

Front

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

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x=0, represented by 'b' in the equation.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that mean?

Back

A slope of 0 means the line is horizontal and does not rise or fall.

Front

If a line has an undefined slope, what does that indicate?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line, where the x-value does not change.

Front

Back

The slope is 3.

Back

The slope is -1/2.
