Writing equations in 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 'm' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

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

Back

'b' represents the y-intercept of the line.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept from a graph?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = 2x - 4?

Back

The y-intercept is -4.

Front

If a line has a slope of 1/2, what does this mean?

Back

For every 2 units you move to the right, you move up 1 unit.

Front

How can you determine the slope from two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (4, 7)?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the table: (0, 6), (1, 5), (2, 4)?

Back

The y-intercept is (0, 6).

Front

How do you convert the equation 3x + 2y = 6 to slope-intercept form?

Back

Rearranging gives y = -3/2x + 3.
