What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the change in y (vertical) divided by the change in x (horizontal).

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

Back

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

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y 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 x increases, y decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

Does the graph of a line that does not pass through the origin represent a proportional relationship?

Back

No, because it does not go through the origin.
