What does the slope in a linear equation represent?
Back
The slope represents the rate of change of the dependent variable (y) with respect to the independent variable (x). It indicates how much y changes for a one-unit increase in x.

How do you convert a linear equation from slope-intercept form to standard form?
Back
Rearrange the equation y = mx + b to the form Ax + By = C by moving all terms involving variables to one side.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the significance of the coefficients in a linear equation?
Back
The coefficients indicate the relationship between the variables. The coefficient of x (slope) shows the rate of change, while the constant term (y-intercept) shows the starting value.
