Slopes

Front

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

Back

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

How do you determine 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.

Front

If the slope of a line is negative, what does that indicate about the line's direction?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line descends from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 4x - 1?

Back

The slope is 4.

Front

How can you find the y-intercept from the equation y = 3x + 5?

Back

The y-intercept is 5, which is the value of b in the equation.

Front

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

Back

The slope is -2.

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

How do you graph the equation y = 2?

Back

The graph of y = 2 is a horizontal line that crosses the y-axis at (0, 2).

Front

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of -3?

Back

The equation is y = x - 3.
