Algebra 1 Semester 1 Review

Front

What is the formula to find the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}.

How do you determine if a slope is positive, negative, or zero?

Back

A positive slope rises from left to right, a negative slope falls from left to right, and a zero slope is horizontal.

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

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