Writing and Graphing 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.

Front

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

Back

The 'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

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

Back

The 'b' represents the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

How do you identify a positive slope from a graph?

Back

A positive slope rises from left to right.

Front

How do you identify a negative slope from a graph?

Back

A negative slope falls from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -2x + 4?

Back

The slope is -2.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation y = 5x - 3?

Back

The y-intercept is -3.

Front

If the slope of a line is 0, what does this indicate about the line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line.

Front

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

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line.

Front

Convert the equation y = 2x + 1 to slope-intercept form. What are the slope and y-intercept?

Back

The slope is 2 and the y-intercept is 1.
