Identify m and b

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

In the equation y = 0.6 - 5x, what is the slope?

Back

-5

Front

What does the y-intercept represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the value of y when x = 0.

Front

In the equation y = -2x + 1, what is the y-intercept?

Back

1

Front

In the equation y = -2x, what is the y-intercept?

Back

0

Front

In the equation y = -5/2x + 1/2, what is the slope?

Back

-5/2

Front

In the equation y = 1/2x - 5, which number represents the y-intercept?

Back

-5, because it's by itself.

Front

What is the general form of a linear equation?

Back

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

How do you identify the slope from the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The slope is the coefficient of x (m).
