Slope and Y-intercept from a Table

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0 in a linear equation. It represents the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept from a table of values?

Back

To find the y-intercept from a table, look for the row where x = 0. The corresponding y value is the y-intercept.

Front

What does a positive y-intercept indicate?

Back

A positive y-intercept indicates that the line crosses the y-axis above the origin (0,0).

Front

What does a negative y-intercept indicate?

Back

A negative y-intercept indicates that the line crosses the y-axis below the origin (0,0).

Front

If a table shows (0, 24), what is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is 24.

Front

If a table shows (0, 7), what is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is 7.

Front

If a table shows (0, -4), what is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is -4.

Front

If a table shows (0, 3), what is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is 3.

Front

If a table shows (0, 8), what is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is 8.

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise/run).
