y=mx

Front

What does the equation y=mx represent?

Back

It represents the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What is the slope in the equation y=3x?

Back

The slope (m) is 3.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by y=-2x?

Back

The slope is -2.

Front

How do you determine the slope from the equation y=mx?

Back

The slope is the coefficient of x in the equation.

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 the slope of a line is 1, what does that mean?

Back

It means that for every unit increase in x, y increases by the same amount.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by y=1/2x?

Back

Front

What does it mean if a line has a slope of 5?

Back

It means that for every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 5 units.
