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

Back

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

Front

How do you find the slope from two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) can be calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

Front

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers, and A should be non-negative.

Front

How do you convert from standard form to slope-intercept form?

Back

To convert from standard form (Ax + By = C) to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), solve for y to isolate it on one side of the equation.

Front

What is point-slope form of a linear equation?

Back

The point-slope form of a linear equation is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line y = 3x + 5?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0. For the equation y = 3x + 5, the y-intercept is 5.

Front

How can you determine if two lines are parallel?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between the slopes of perpendicular lines?

Back

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other. If one line has a slope of m, the other line's slope will be -1/m.
