Unit 4 Review - Honors

Front

What is the formula to calculate the total cost of a towing service that charges a flat fee plus a variable cost per mile?

Back

y = x + 10, where y is the total cost and x is the number of miles towed.

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the rise over run (change in y over change in x).

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 y when x = 0.

Front

How can you find the slope of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Use the formula: slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
