y=mx

Front

What does the equation y=mx represent?

Back

It represents the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.

Front

What is the slope in the equation y=2x+3?

Back

The slope (m) is 2.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

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.

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

If a line has a slope of 1/2, what does this mean?

Back

For every 2 units you move horizontally to the right, you move 1 unit up.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y=-3x+4?

Back

The slope (m) is -3.

Front

What does it mean if a line is increasing?

Back

If a line is increasing, it means that as x increases, y also increases, resulting in a positive slope.
