Graphing Linear Equations

Front

What is the Slope-Intercept Form of a linear equation?

Back

The Slope-Intercept Form is given by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

What does the slope (m) represent in a linear equation?

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

What does the y-intercept (b) represent in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, indicating the value of y when x = 0.

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 1/4 that passes through the point (0, -1)?

Back

Front

If a line has a slope of -1/3, what does this indicate about the direction of the line?

Back

A slope of -1/3 indicates that the line is decreasing, going downwards from left to right.
