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.

How do you identify the slope from a graph?

Back

The slope can be identified by determining the rise over run between two points on the line.

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, resulting in an upward slant from left to right.

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

How can you find the slope from a table of values?

Back

To find the slope from a table, calculate the change in y divided by the change in x (Δy/Δx) between two points.

How do you determine if two lines are parallel using their slopes?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope (m) but different y-intercepts (b).

How do you determine if two lines are perpendicular using their slopes?

Back

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1 (m1 * m2 = -1).
