Vocabulary Term

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.
