A/G TEST: Finding Slope From Two Points & Tables

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, calculated as the change in y (vertical) over the change in x (horizontal).

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

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, showing an upward trend.

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, showing a downward trend.

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

In the equation, 'm' represents the slope of the line.

In the equation, 'b' represents the y-intercept, the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Slope = (6 - 2) / (3 - 1) = 4 / 2 = 2.

The slope is negative (-2).
