Identifying Slope and Y-Intercept

Front

What is the slope of a linear equation?

Back

The slope of a linear equation represents the rate of change of the dependent variable (y) with respect to the independent variable (x). It is calculated as the rise over run.

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'm' represent?

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'b' represent?

Back

'b' represents the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
