FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a linear equation?

Back

A linear equation is an equation that models a straight line when graphed. It can be written in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of the dependent variable (y) with respect to the independent variable (x). It indicates how steep the line is.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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

Back

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

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the fixed cost in a linear equation representing a service charge?

Back

The fixed cost is the constant term (b) in the equation, representing the initial charge before any variable costs are added.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you identify the variable cost in a service charge equation?

Back

The variable cost is the coefficient of x (m) in the equation, representing the cost that changes based on the number of services provided.
