Slope-Intercept Form Review

Front

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 identify the slope in 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 the slope-intercept form?

Back

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

Front

How do you graph a line using the slope-intercept form?

Back

To graph a line using the slope-intercept form, first plot the y-intercept (b) on the y-axis, then use the slope (m) to determine the rise over run from that point.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

If the slope (m) is positive, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

If the slope (m) is positive, the line rises from left to right.

Front

If the slope (m) is negative, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

If the slope (m) is negative, the line falls from left to right.

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 (y = mx + b), 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 = 4x - 2?

Back

The slope of the line represented by the equation y = 4x - 2 is 4.
