Front

What does slope represent in a linear equation?

Back

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

Front

What is the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

How do you convert standard form to slope-intercept form?

Back

Isolate y on one side of the equation.

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

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