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 the slope (m) represent in a linear equation?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-intercept (b) represent in a linear equation?

Back

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

Front

If the slope of a line is -3/2, what does this indicate about the line's direction?

Back

A slope of -3/2 indicates that the line descends from left to right.

Front

How do you convert the equation y = 2x + 4 into slope-intercept form?

Back

The equation is already in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m = 2 and b = 4.

Front

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

Back

The slope of the line is -1.

Front

How can you determine if a graph is linear?

Back

A graph is linear if it forms a straight line.

Front

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of 6?

Back

The equation is y = 3x + 6.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what type of line is it?

Back

A line with a slope of 0 is a horizontal line.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -2x + 5?

Back

The slope of the line is -2.
