Slope Intercept Form from Tables

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, b) in the slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

Front

What is the equation of the linear function?

Back

The equation of a linear function can be expressed in slope-intercept form as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

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

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line, indicating the rate of change of y with respect to x.

Front

How do you find the slope from a table of values?

Back

The slope (m) can be calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) using any two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) from the table.

Front

What is the algebraic equation for this table?

Back

The algebraic equation can be derived from the relationship between x and y values in the table, often in the form y = mx + b.

Front

What is slope-intercept form?

Back

Slope-intercept form is a way of writing the equation of a line as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

How do you identify the slope from a graph?

Back

The slope can be identified by selecting two points on the line and calculating the rise over run (change in y over change in x).

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, showing a direct relationship.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, showing an inverse relationship.

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept indicates the value of y when x is zero, providing a starting point for the line on the graph.
