Writing Slope Intercept Equations

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What does 'm' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

In the equation y = mx + b, 'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

What does 'b' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

In the equation y = mx + b, 'b' represents the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

How do you identify the slope from the equation y = 3x - 5?

Back

The slope is the coefficient of x, which is 3 in the equation y = 3x - 5.

Front

How do you identify the y-intercept from the equation y = -2x + 4?

Back

The y-intercept is the constant term, which is 4 in the equation y = -2x + 4.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -1/2x + 3?

Back

The slope of the line is -1/2.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation y = 5x - 2?

Back

The y-intercept of the line is -2.

Front

How can you convert the equation 2x + 3y = 6 into slope-intercept form?

Back

To convert 2x + 3y = 6 into slope-intercept form, solve for y: 3y = -2x + 6, then y = -2/3x + 2.

Front

What is the slope of a line that is horizontal?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a line that is vertical?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
