Back
The point-slope form is given by the equation y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does the slope of a line represent in a linear equation?
Back
The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?
Back
The slope-intercept form is given by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you convert from point-slope form to slope-intercept form?
Back
To convert, solve for y in the point-slope equation y - y1 = m(x - x1) to get y = mx + (y1 - mx1).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the standard form of a linear equation?
Back
The standard form is given by Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers and A should be non-negative.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does the y-intercept represent in a linear equation?
Back
The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of y when x = 0.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How can you determine the slope from two points on a line?
Back
The slope (m) can be calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) for points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
