Understanding Slope and Intercepts

Front

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 divided by the change in x (rise over run).

Front

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented as the value of y when x = 0.

How do you find the slope between two points?

Back

The slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?
