Intro to Slope Intercept Form

Front

What is the slope in the equation: y=4x+3?

Back

4

Front

Find the slope from the table: (x1, y1), (x2, y2).

Back

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = 4

Front

What type of slope is seen in a line that goes straight up?

Back

Undefined

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation: y = -5x + 2?

Back

-5

Front

If m=3 and b=6, what is the slope-intercept equation?

Back

y = 3x + 6

Front

What does 'm' represent in the slope-intercept form y = mx + b?

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

What does 'b' represent in the slope-intercept form y = mx + b?

Back

'b' represents the y-intercept of the line.

Front

How do you identify a positive slope from a graph?

Back

A positive slope rises from left to right.

Front

How do you identify a negative slope from a graph?

Back

A negative slope falls from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

0 (zero) slope.
