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.

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.

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

Back

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

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical, meaning it does not have a defined rate of change.

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of y when x = 0.

How can you determine if a relation is a function?

Back

A relation is a function if every input (x-value) has exactly one output (y-value).

What is the significance of the absolute value in the equation y = |x - 1|?

Back

The absolute value creates a V-shaped graph, reflecting the values of y for both positive and negative inputs of (x - 1).

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0, indicating no change in y as x changes.

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined, as it cannot be expressed as a ratio of rise over run.

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 (b) on the y-axis, then use the slope (m) to determine the rise over run.
