Slope - Intercept Form Review (view equations and graphs) BC

Front

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

Back

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x. It indicates how steep the line is.

Front

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

Back

Front

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that indicate?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line, meaning there is no change in y as x changes.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, resulting in a downward slant from left to right.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, resulting in an upward slant from left to right.

Front

How can you determine if a line is steep or gentle?

Back

The steepness of a line is determined by the absolute value of the slope; larger absolute values indicate steeper lines.

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of -3?
