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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, indicating the value of y when x = 0.

Front

If m = 2 and b = 3, what is the equation of the line?

Back

y = 2x + 3

Front

How do you find the slope from two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated as m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -4x + 1?

Back

The slope is -4.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation y = 1/2x - 6?

Back

The y-intercept is -6.

Front

Write the equation of a line with a slope of -1 and a y-intercept of 4.

Back

y = -1x + 4 or y = -x + 4.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
