Slope and Slope intercept

Front

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

Back

Front

How do you find the slope of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-values increase, the y-values also increase, meaning the line rises from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-values increase, the y-values decrease, meaning the line falls from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 4x - 5?

Back

The slope of the line is 4.

Front

What is the y-intercept in the equation y = -3x + 2?

Back

The y-intercept is 2.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

If a line has a slope of 2, what does this mean in terms of rise over run?

Back

A slope of 2 means that for every 1 unit you move to the right (run), the line rises 2 units (rise).
