Forms of linear equations

Front

What is the y-intercept in the equation y = -4x - 5?

Back

-5

Front

Which statement best describes 'b' in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

y-intercept

Front

Which equation is written in standard form? 1) 6y = x + 5 2) y - 1 = 7(x - 2) 3) y = 1/2x + 15 4) 2x + 3y = 18

Back

2x + 3y = 18

Front

Which of these represents the standard form of a linear equation? 1) y - y1 = m(x - x1) 2) Ax + By = C 3) y = mx + b

Back

Back

4

Front

Define slope in the context of a linear equation.

Back

Slope is the ratio of the rise (change in y) to the run (change in x) between two points on a line.

Front

What is the general form of a linear equation?

Back

Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants.

Front

What does 'm' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

Slope of the line.

Front

What is the x-intercept in the equation y = 2x - 6?

Back

3 (set y = 0 and solve for x).

Front

How do you convert the equation y = mx + b to standard form?

Back

Rearrange to Ax + By = C.
