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.

What does the slope (m) represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

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

What does the y-intercept (b) represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

If a line has a slope of -1, what does this indicate about its direction?

Back

A slope of -1 indicates that the line descends from left to right, meaning as x increases, y decreases.

How can you determine if two lines are parallel using their equations?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope (m) in their slope-intercept forms.

How can you determine if two lines are perpendicular using their slopes?

Back

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1 (m1 * m2 = -1).

Convert the equation y = 5x - 2 into slope-intercept form.

Back

The equation is already in slope-intercept form: y = 5x - 2.
