Intro to 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 y-intercept from the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of 'b' when x = 0.

Front

If the slope of a line is 1, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A slope of 1 indicates that for every unit increase in x, y increases by the same amount.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line y = 3x + 2?

Back

The y-intercept is (0, 2).

Front

How would you write the equation of a line with a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of (0, 3)?

Back

The equation is y = -2x + 3.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 4?

Back

The slope is 0, indicating a horizontal line.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what can you say about its equation?

Back

The equation will be of the form y = b, where b is a constant.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -5x + 1?

Back

The slope is -5.
