slope intercept form

Front

What is the slope in the equation y=mx + b?

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x.

Front

What does the 'b' represent in the slope-intercept form y=mx + b?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the slope from the equation y=2x + 3?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

What is the equation of a line with a slope of -1 and a y-intercept of 4?

Back

y = -1x + 4 or y = -x + 4.

Front

If the slope of a line is 3, what does this indicate about the line's steepness?

Back

A slope of 3 indicates that for every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 3 units, making the line steep.

Front

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

Back

The slope is -2.

Front

How can you convert the equation y = 1/2x - 3 into slope-intercept form?

Back

It is already in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b.

Front

What is the equation of a line when m = -7 and b = -8?

Back

y = -7x - 8.

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line.

Front

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 1/3 and a y-intercept of -2?

Back

y = 1/3x - 2.
