Slope Intercept Form

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

What does 'm' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

What does 'b' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

'b' represents the y-intercept of the line.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

If a line has a slope of 1/2, what does this indicate about the line?

Back

A slope of 1/2 indicates that for every 2 units moved horizontally, the line moves up 1 unit vertically.

Front

Write the equation of a line with a slope of -3 and a y-intercept of 4.

Back

y = -3x + 4.

Front

What is the slope of a line that is horizontal?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a line that is vertical?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

If the slope of a line is negative, what does this indicate about the direction of the line?

Back

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

Front

Convert the equation y = 2x + 3 to slope-intercept form.

Back

The equation is already in slope-intercept form: y = 2x + 3.
