Slope-Intercept Form

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 do the variables 'm' and 'b' represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

In the equation y = mx + b, 'm' represents the slope of the line, and 'b' represents the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

Back

The slope is 3, which is the coefficient of x in the equation.

Front

Back

The y-intercept is 7, which is the constant term in the equation.

Front

If a line has a positive slope, what does that indicate about its direction?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about the direction of a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line falls from left to right.

Front

Back

The slope is 0.5.

How can you determine if a line is horizontal using its slope?

Back

A horizontal line has a slope of 0.
