Algebra 1 Linear Equation Review

Front

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to y=2x-1 that passes through the point (5, 17)?

Back

y = 2x + 7

Front

What are the x- and y-intercepts for the equation 5x - 3y = 15?

Back

(3, 0) and (0, -5)

Front

What do perpendicular lines have in common regarding their slopes?

Back

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a line?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the slope of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -3/4x + 3?

Back

The slope is -3/4.

Front

If a line has a slope of 2, what is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it?

Back

The slope of the perpendicular line is -1/2.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation y = 5x - 2?

Back

The y-intercept is -2.

Front

How do you convert the standard form of a linear equation (Ax + By = C) to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)?

Back

Solve for y to isolate it on one side of the equation.

Front

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (2, 3) with a slope of 4?

Back

y - 3 = 4(x - 2) or y = 4x - 5.
