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 from the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The slope (m) is the coefficient of x in the equation.

Front

What does the y-intercept represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

The y-intercept (b) represents the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

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 of the line is 4.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The slope of the line is -2.

Front

How do 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, solve for y to isolate it on one side of the equation.

Front

What is the slope of the line with the equation y = 0.5x - 2?

Back

The slope of the line is 0.5.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.
