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

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

Back

In the equation y = mx + b, 'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

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

Back

In the equation y = mx + b, 'b' represents the y-intercept, the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

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 = 2x + 5?

Back

The slope of the line is 2.

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept is 4.

Front

If the slope of a line is positive, what does that indicate about the line's direction?

Back

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

Front

If the slope of a line is negative, what does that indicate about the line's direction?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line falls 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.
