Slope Intercept Form

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 the slope (m) represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

Front

What is the y-intercept (b) in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, b).

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 the slope is positive, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises from left to right.

Front

If the slope is negative, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line falls from left to right.

Front

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

Back

The slope of the line is 4.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -3x + 2?

Back

The slope of the line is -3.

Front

How do you find the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated as m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
