FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Back
The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, typically represented as 'm' in the equation of a line, which is calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise over run).
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you find the slope of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?
Back
The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does the equation of a line in slope-intercept form look like?
Back
The slope-intercept form of a line is given by the equation: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
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 of the equation.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you graph a linear equation?
Back
To graph a linear equation, identify the y-intercept (b), plot it on the y-axis, then use the slope (m) to find another point by moving up/down and left/right from the y-intercept.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the difference between a linear equation and an inequality?
Back
A linear equation represents a straight line, while a linear inequality shows a region of the graph that satisfies the inequality, often represented with a dashed or solid line.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does it mean if a line is increasing?
Back
A line is increasing if the slope is positive, meaning as x increases, y also increases.
