Front

What is the linear equation of the line shown?

Back

The linear equation is y = -3x + 4.

Front

What does the slope (m) represent in the equation y=mx+b?

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

To find the y-intercept, set x=0 in the equation and solve for y.

Front

What is the formula to calculate the cost of an event based on hourly charges?

Back

The formula is y = hourly_rate * hours + setup_fee.

Front

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

Back

A slope of -2 indicates that the line descends from left to right.

Front

What is the significance of the x-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis (y=0).
