FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the slope of a line?
Back
The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, usually represented as 'm'. It is calculated as the change in the y-coordinate divided by the change in the x-coordinate (rise/run).
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you find the slope using two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?
Back
The slope (m) can be found using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does a positive slope indicate about a line?
Back
A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does a negative slope indicate about a line?
Back
A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does a slope of zero mean?
Back
A slope of zero means the line is horizontal and there is no change in the y-value as the x-value changes.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does an undefined slope mean?
Back
An undefined slope occurs in vertical lines where the x-value does not change, leading to division by zero in the slope formula.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If a line passes through the points (2, 3) and (5, 3), what is the slope?
Back
The slope is 0, as the y-values are the same (3), indicating a horizontal line.
