Slope Intercept Form Practice

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

In the slope-intercept form y = mx + b, the slope is represented by the coefficient m.

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 equation y = mx + b.

Front

How can 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.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -2x + 5?

Back

The slope of the line is -2.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation y = 3/2x - 3?

Back

The y-intercept of the line is (0, -3).

Front

How do you graph a linear equation in slope-intercept form?

Back

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

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line falls from left to right.

Front

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

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope.
