FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a linear equation?

Back

A linear equation is an equation that represents a straight line when graphed on a coordinate plane. It can be written in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of the y-coordinate with respect to the x-coordinate. It indicates how steep the line is and the direction it is going (positive or negative).

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you find the y-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept of a linear equation can be found by setting x = 0 in the equation and solving for y. The resulting value of y is the y-intercept.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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

Back

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

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you convert a linear equation from standard form to slope-intercept form?

Back

To convert from standard form (Ax + By = C) to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), solve for y in terms of x.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a graph?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. It represents the value of y when x is zero.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, meaning the line is slanting downwards from left to right.
