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

What does the 'm' represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

The 'm' represents the slope of the line, indicating the steepness and direction.

Front

What does the 'b' represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the y-intercept from the equation y = -4x - 5?

Back

The y-intercept is -5, which is the constant term in the equation.

Front

Convert the equation y = 2x + 5 to slope-intercept form.

Back

The equation is already in slope-intercept form: y = 2x + 5.

Front

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

Back

The slope is -2.

Front

Write the equation of a line with a slope of -3/2 and a y-intercept of 4.

Back

The equation is y = -3/2x + 4.

Front

Which of the following is NOT in slope-intercept form? y - y1 = m(x - x1), Ax + By = C, y = mx + b

Back

Ax + By = C is NOT in slope-intercept form.

Front

If a line has a slope of 1/3 and a y-intercept of -2, what is its equation?

Back

The equation is y = 1/3x - 2.

Front

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

Back

The slope m is calculated as m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
