The sign of the slope of a line depends on the vertical direction of the line as it moves to the right.❖ The slope of a line that moves upward as it moves to the right is ________________.❖ The slope of a line that moves downward as it moves to the right is ________________.

Positive and Negative SlopeRecall that the slope of a line is the ________ over the ______ from one point to the other.rise𝑚 = runRise is the number of units we move ____ or ________ from one point to another. On a graph, rise is thechange in the ____-values.rise = 𝑦2 − 𝑦1Run is the number of units we move ________ or __________from one point to another. So, on a graph, run isthe change in the ___-values.run = 𝑥2 − 𝑥1Let’s consider two points on the line: A(1, 2) and B(3, 4).Slope is ________ over ______. So, the slope is 22, or ___. Both the rise and run are ________________, so theslope is also __________________.

Considering the graph of a line with a negative slope, which of the following could be true? Check all that apply.A.As the absolute value of the negative slope gets bigger, the graph of the line gets steeper.B.As the absolute value of the negative slope gets smaller, the graph of the line gets less steep.C.The line goes down from left to right.D.The line goes up from left to right.E.The line shifts down.

The graph of a line gets _____ as the value of the slope gets smaller.A.longerB.less steepC.shorterD.steeper
