Vocabulary Term

Answer

Definition

The vertical distance between two points on a line. It equals the difference between the y-coordinates of the two points.

Answer

The horizontal distance between two points on a line.

It equals the difference between the x-coordinates of the two points.

Answer

A measure of how steep a line is. The slope equals rise divided by run for any two points on the line. A line that rises from left to right has a positive slope. A line that falls from left to right has a negative slope.

Answer

A ratio comparing the amount of one measurement to one unit of another measurement.

unit rate

equivalent ratios

run

Erise

Here is the vocabulary term along with its corresponding answer and definition for clarity:

1. **Rise**
- **Answer**: The vertical distance between two points on a line. It equals the difference between the y-coordinates of the two points.

2. **Run**
- **Answer**: The horizontal distance between two points on a line. It equals the difference between the x-coordinates of the two points.

3. **Slope**
- **Answer**: A measure of how steep a line is. The slope equals rise divided by run for any two points on the line. A line that rises from left to right has a positive slope. A line that falls from left to right has a negative slope.

4. **Unit Rate**
- **Answer**: A ratio comparing the amount of one measurement to one unit of another measurement.

5. **Equivalent Ratios**
- **Answer**: Ratios that express the same relationship between two quantities, even though the numbers may be different.

6. **Slope Formula**
- **Answer**: The formula used to calculate the slope of a line, often written as \( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \), where \( m \) is the slope, \( (x_1, y_1) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) \) are the coordinates of two points on the line.
