What is the point-slope form of a linear equation?

Back

Front

How do you find the slope of a line given two points?

Back

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be parallel?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and will never intersect.

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

Front

How do you convert from slope-intercept form to standard form?

Back

Front

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a linear equation?

Back

The slope indicates the steepness of the line and the direction it moves; a positive slope rises, while a negative slope falls.

Front

How can you determine if a point lies on a line?

Back

Front

What is an equivalent form of a linear equation?

Back

An equivalent form of a linear equation is any rearrangement of the equation that represents the same line, such as converting from point-slope to slope-intercept form.

Front

What does it mean for two lines to intersect?

Back

Two lines intersect if they cross each other at a single point, which means they have different slopes.
