Point-Slope and Slope Intercept Form Practice

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

Zero

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

Undefined

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

How do you convert point-slope form to slope-intercept form?

Back

Isolate y in the equation y - y1 = m(x - x1) to get y = mx + b.

Front

What does the 'm' represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

The slope of the line.

Front

What does the 'b' represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

The y-intercept of the line.

Front

Write the equation in point-slope form for a line with slope 3 passing through (2, 5).

Back

y - 5 = 3(x - 2).

Front

If a line has a slope of -2, 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 the line represented by the equation y = 4x + 1?

Back

4

Front

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

Back

Use the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
