1. What does 'rise' represent in the context of slope?
Horizontal change
Vertical change
Steepness of the line
Length of the line
2. A horizontal line has a slope of:
Undefined
1
0
-1
3. The formula for slope (m) using two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is m = .
4. A line that goes downwards from left to right has a slope.
5. Calculate the slope of the line passing through the points (3, 5) and (7, 13). Show your work.
6. On the graph below, draw a line with a slope of -2/3 that passes through the point (0, 4).
7. A vertical line has an undefined slope.
True
False
