Front

How do you calculate the slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Front

What does the slope (m) represent in a linear equation?

Back

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

Front

What is the y-intercept (b) in the slope-intercept form?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0; it is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

If a line has an undefined slope, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical.
