What is a linear equation?

Back

A linear equation is an equation that represents a straight line when graphed on a coordinate plane. It can be expressed in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of the y-coordinate with respect to the x-coordinate. It indicates how steep the line is and the direction it is going.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you calculate the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) can be calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
