Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

The line is horizontal and does not rise or fall.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

The line is vertical and does not have a defined slope.

Front

How do you determine if a system of equations has no solution?

Back

If the lines are parallel, they will never intersect.

Front

What is the first step in graphing a linear equation?

Back

Identify the y-intercept and plot it on the y-axis.

Front

What is the significance of the point (0,0) in graphing?

Back

It is the origin, where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.
