Graphing Lines in Slope-Intercept Form

Front

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

Back

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

Front

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'm' represent?

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'b' represent?

Back

'b' represents the y-intercept, the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line.

Front

What does a slope of zero indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of zero indicates a horizontal line.

Front

If a line passes through the point (0, 3), what is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is 3.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -x - 7?

Back
