Front

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

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, representing the value of y when x = 0.

Front

What is the significance of the point (0, 0) in a direct variation graph?

Back

The point (0, 0) indicates that when the independent variable is zero, the dependent variable is also zero, which is characteristic of direct variation.

Front

Which equation represents a proportional relationship: y = 3x or y = 3x + 2?

Back

y = 3x represents a proportional relationship because it passes through the origin (0, 0).
