Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

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

Front

If a line has a slope of 2, what does this mean?

Back

It means that for every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 2 units.

Front

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of b in the slope-intercept form.

Front

Write the equation of a line with a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of -5.

Back

y = 3x - 5

Front

Identify the slope in the equation y = -2x + 4.

Back
