Blazer Time Activity 2: Writing Linear Equations from Tables

Front

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

Back

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What does the 'm' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

In the equation y = mx + b, 'm' represents the slope of the line, which indicates the steepness and direction of the line.

Front

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

Back

In the equation y = mx + b, 'b' represents the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) can be calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

Write the linear equation for the slope of 2 and y-intercept of -3.

Back

The linear equation is y = 2x - 3.

Front

Given the points (1, 2) and (3, 6), write the linear equation in slope-intercept form.

Back

The linear equation is y = 2x.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -4x + 1?

Back

The slope of the line is -4.

Front

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

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

If a line has an undefined slope, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical.

Front

Write a linear equation for a line with a slope of -1 and passing through the point (4, 3).

Back

The linear equation is y = -1x + 7.
