Standard to Slope Intercept Form

Front

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

Back

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

How do you convert an equation from standard form to slope-intercept form?

Back

To convert from standard form (Ax + By = C) to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), solve for y by isolating it on one side of the equation.

What does the slope (m) represent in a linear equation?

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is and the direction it goes (positive or negative).

What does the y-intercept (b) represent in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept (b) represents the point where the line crosses the y-axis, indicating the value of y when x is 0.

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

Back

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