Front

In the equation y = 5x - 6, what is the value of 'b'?

Back

The value of 'b' is -6.

Front

What does the slope represent in a linear equation?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x.

Front

Are 'slope' and 'constant rate of change' the same?

Back

Yes, they are the same.

Front

What is the formula to find the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The formula is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

If a line has a slope of -1, what does this indicate about the line's direction?

Back

The line decreases as it moves from left to right.

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

How do you identify the y-intercept from a linear equation in slope-intercept form?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of 'b' in the equation y = mx + b.
