Slope-intercept

Front

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

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the slope from the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The slope (m) is the coefficient of x in the equation.

Front

What does the y-intercept represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

The y-intercept (b) represents the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

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 is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -3x + 4?

Back

The slope of the line is -3.

Front

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

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

If a line has an undefined slope, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical.

Front

How can you convert the equation y = 2x + 5 into standard form?

Back

To convert to standard form, rearrange to Ax + By = C, resulting in -2x + y = 5.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in real-world applications?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change between two variables in real-world scenarios.

Front

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

Back

Use the point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is the point and m is the slope.
