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

Back

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

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x; it indicates how steep the line is.

How do you identify the y-intercept from the slope-intercept form?

Back

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

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line, meaning there is no change in y as x changes.

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, resulting in a downward slant from left to right.

If the slope of a line is 1/2, what does this mean in terms of rise over run?

Back

It means for every 2 units you move to the right (run), the line rises 1 unit (rise).
