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

Back

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is given by the formula y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

How do you convert an equation from standard form to slope-intercept form?

Back

To convert from standard form (Ax + By = C) to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), solve for y to isolate it on one side of the equation.

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the change in y (rise) divided by the change in x (run) between two points on the line.

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

Back

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

What is the equation of a horizontal line?

Back

The equation of a horizontal line is of the form y = b, where b is a constant.

What is the equation of a vertical line?

Back

The equation of a vertical line is of the form x = a, where a is a constant.

How do you write the equation of a line given a point and a slope?

Back

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 y-intercept of a line?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of y when x = 0.

How can you determine if two lines are perpendicular?

Back

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.
