y-intercepts

Front

What is the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of 'b' in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept from an equation?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x; it indicates how steep the line is.

Front

How can you identify the y-intercept from a graph?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis.

Front

If a line has a negative slope, what does that indicate about the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept can be any value; the negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases.
