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

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

Back

Use the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What does the inequality y < mx + b represent graphically?

Back

It represents the area below the line y = mx + b.

Front

What is the meaning of a negative slope?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases.

Front

How do you graph the inequality y ≤ mx + b?

Back

Graph the line y = mx + b as a solid line and shade below the line.

Front

What is the rate of change in a linear function?

Back

The rate of change is the slope of the line, indicating how much y changes for a unit change in x.

Front

What does it mean if a line is horizontal?

Back

A horizontal line has a slope of 0, meaning y does not change as x changes.

Front

What does it mean if a line is vertical?

Back

A vertical line has an undefined slope, meaning x does not change as y changes.

Front

How do you solve the inequality 2x - y < 6 for y?

Back

Rearrange to y > 2x - 6.

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis (x=0).
