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 x-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the y-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

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

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases.

Front

What is an inequality?

Back

An inequality is a mathematical statement that compares two expressions using symbols like <, >, ≤, or ≥.

Front

What does the graph of x < -2 look like?

Back

The graph is a vertical line at x = -2, with shading to the left.

Front

What does the graph of y > 5 look like?

Back

The graph is a horizontal line at y = 5, with shading above.

Front

What is the meaning of the term 'intercept' in algebra?

Back

An intercept is the point where a line crosses the x-axis or y-axis.

Front

How do you write an equation from a graph?

Back

Identify the slope and y-intercept from the graph, then use the slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

Front

What is the difference between 'and' and 'or' in inequalities?

Back

'And' means both conditions must be true, while 'or' means at least one condition must be true.
