Front

What does the slope represent in a linear equation?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

Front

What is the significance of the point (x_1, y_1) in the point-slope form?

Back

It is a specific point on the line that the equation passes through.

Front

If a line has a slope of 2, what does this indicate about the line's steepness?

Back

A slope of 2 indicates that for every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 2 units, making the line relatively steep.
