Graphing Slope Intercept

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

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

Back

The slope is 3.

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept (b) represents the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

If the slope of a line is -2, what does this indicate about the line's direction?

Back

A slope of -2 indicates that the line descends from left to right.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = 4x - 1?

Back

The y-intercept is -1.

Front

How can you convert the equation y = 2x + 3 to slope-intercept form?

Back

It is already in slope-intercept form: y = 2x + 3.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -1/2x + 4?

Back

The slope is -1/2.

Front

How do you find the equation of a line given a slope of 5 and a y-intercept of 2?

Back

The equation is y = 5x + 2.

Front

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 0?

Back

The equation is y = b, where b is the y-value for all x (a horizontal line).

Front

If a line has a slope of 3 and passes through the point (1, 2), what is the equation of the line?

Back

Using point-slope form: y - 2 = 3(x - 1) or y = 3x - 1.
