Front

Define slope in the context of a linear equation.

Back

Slope is the measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the change in y over the change in x (rise/run).

Front

What is the formula to convert from standard form (Ax + By = C) to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)?

Back

Isolate y: y = (-A/B)x + (C/B).

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, represented as (0, b) in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does this indicate about the line?

Back

The line is horizontal.

Front

If a line has an undefined slope, what does this indicate about the line?

Back

The line is vertical.
