Front

What does it mean if an equation has infinitely many solutions?

Back

It means that there are an infinite number of values for the variable that satisfy the equation, often indicating that the two sides of the equation are equivalent for all values of the variable.

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 find the y-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 in the equation and solve for y.

Front

What does the term 'HOY' refer to in graphing?

Back

'HOY' stands for 'Horizontal is Zero', indicating that a horizontal line has a slope of 0.

Front

What does the term 'VUX' refer to in graphing?

Back

'VUX' stands for 'Vertical is Undefined', indicating that a vertical line has an undefined slope.

Front

Which equation represents a line with a positive slope?

Back

y = 1/4 x + 2 (the slope is positive 1/4).

Front

Solve: 2(4x - 3) - 8 = 4 + 2x

Back

x = 3

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = 5x - 4?

Back

-4

Front

What is the first step in solving the equation 3x + 5 = 20?

Back

Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the term with x.
