What does the y-intercept represent in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of b in the equation y = mx + b.

How can you find the equation of a line given a slope and a point?

Back

You can use the point-slope form of the equation: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is the point and m is the slope.

Front

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

Back

The point-slope form of a linear equation is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Front

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

Back

To convert from point-slope form (y - y1 = m(x - x1)) to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), solve for y.

What is the formula to calculate the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

How do you write the equation of a line given two points?

Back

First, calculate the slope using the two points, then use the point-slope form to write the equation.

What is the significance of a positive slope in a linear equation?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises as it moves from left to right.
