Slope-Intercept & Standard Form Flashcard

Front

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

Back

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

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

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

What does 'b' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

'b' represents the y-intercept of the line.

Front

How do you identify the slope from the equation y = 2x + 3?

Back

The slope is the coefficient of x, which is 2.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = -3x + 4?

Back

The y-intercept is 4.

Front

What type of slope does a horizontal line have?

Back

A horizontal line has a slope of zero.

Front

What type of slope does a vertical line have?

Back

A vertical line has an undefined slope.

Front

If a line has a positive slope, how does it behave?

Back

A line with a positive slope rises from left to right.

Front

If a line has a negative slope, how does it behave?

Back

A line with a negative slope falls from left to right.

Front

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

The standard form is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers.
