Slope and Slope intercept

Front

What is slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the ratio of the rise (vertical change) to the run (horizontal change).

Front

How do you calculate slope using a graph?

Back

Slope is calculated as rise over run.

Front

What does the y-intercept represent in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, b) in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

If m = 2 and b = 5, what is the slope-intercept equation?

Back

The equation is y = 2x + 5.

Front

What does the 4 represent in y = 4x + 3?

Back

The 4 represents the slope of the line.

Front

What is the rise in the slope calculation?

Back

Rise is the vertical change between two points on a line.

Front

What is the run in the slope calculation?

Back

Run is the horizontal change between two points on a line.

Front

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

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line.

Front

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

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line.
