Let’s go through each question one by one.
---
Question 1: Slope is known as rise/
Slope is calculated as “rise over run”. That means how much you go up or down (rise) divided by how much you go left or right (run).
So, the correct word to complete “rise/” is
run.
✔ Correct answer:
D. run

Question 2: What type of slope does the graph have?
The graph shows a
vertical line (going straight up and down).
For vertical lines:
- The “run” (horizontal change) is zero.
- You can’t divide by zero — so the slope is
undefined.
✔ Correct answer:
D. Undefined

Question 3: What type of slope does the graph have?
Looking at the graph, it shows a
horizontal line (going straight left to right).
For horizontal lines:
- The “rise” (vertical change) is zero.
- Zero divided by any number is zero → so slope =
zero.
✔ Correct answer:
B. Zero

Question 4: What type of slope does the following graph have?
The line goes from top-left to bottom-right. That means as x increases, y decreases → this is a
negative slope.
You can also think: if you walk along the line from left to right, you’re going downhill → negative slope.
✔ Correct answer:
C. Negative

Final Answer:
1. D
2. D
3. B
4. C
