Identify Slope and Y-Intercept from an Equation

Front

What is the definition of slope in a linear equation?

Back

The slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, represented as 'm' in the equation y = mx + b, indicating the change in y for a unit change in x.

How do you identify the y-intercept from a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0, which can be found by setting x to 0 in the equation and solving for y.

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) is 2.
