Slope Intercept Form Review

Front

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

Back

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

Front

In the equation y = 4x + 3, what does the number 4 represent?

Back

The number 4 represents the slope of the line.

Front

How do you 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).

Front

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 slope-intercept form.

Front

If a line has a slope of 2, what does this indicate about the line's steepness?

Back

A slope of 2 indicates that for every 1 unit increase in x, the value of y increases by 2 units, making the line steep.

Front

What is the slope of a line that is horizontal?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a line that is vertical?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

Given the points (2, 4) and (6, 12), what is the slope of the line passing through these points?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

In the equation y = 6x + 10, what does the number 6 represent?

Back

The number 6 represents the slope of the line.

Front

How do you interpret a slope of -1/5?

Back

A slope of -1/5 indicates that for every 5 units you move to the right, the line moves down 1 unit.
