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).

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).
