Background

Topic: Slope of a Line

This question tests your understanding of how to calculate the slope of a line given two points. The slope describes how steep the line is and the direction it goes.

Key Terms and Formula:

• Slope (m): The measure of the steepness of a line.

• Points: and are the coordinates of two points on the line.

The formula for the slope between two points is:
