Slope Intercept Form

Front

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.

Front

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

Back

The slope is represented by the coefficient m in the equation.

Front

What does the y-intercept represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value b in the equation.

Front

How can you find the y-intercept from a linear equation in slope-intercept form?

Back

To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 in the equation and solve for y.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 3x - 5?

Back

The slope of the line is 3.

Front

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

Back

A slope of -2 indicates that the line descends from left to right.

Front

What is the ordered pair for the y-intercept of the equation y = 4x + 1?

Back

The ordered pair for the y-intercept is (0, 1).

Front

How do you write an equation in slope-intercept form given a slope and a y-intercept?

Back

Use the formula y = mx + b, substituting the given slope for m and the y-intercept for b.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -1/2x + 3?

Back

The slope of the line is -1/2.

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.
