Back
The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you calculate the slope from 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 does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?
Back
A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal and there is no vertical change as you move along the line.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does a positive slope indicate?
Back
A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, showing a direct relationship.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does a negative slope indicate?
Back
A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, showing an inverse relationship.
