Graph Using Slope Intercept Form

Front

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 the standard form of a linear equation to slope-intercept form?

Back

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

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of -4?

Back

The equation of the line is y = 1x - 4 or y = x - 4.

Front

How do you graph a line using the slope-intercept form?

Back

To graph a line using the slope-intercept form, start at the y-intercept (0, b) and use the slope (rise/run) to find another point.

Front

What is the significance of a slope of 0 in a linear equation?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line, meaning the y-value remains constant regardless of the x-value.
