Slope Intercept Form practice

Front

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

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the slope from 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 a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, b) in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

How can you find the y-intercept from an equation in standard form?

Back

To find the y-intercept from an equation in standard form Ax + By = C, set x = 0 and solve for y.

Front

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

Back

The slope of the line is 4.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = -2x + 5?

Back

The y-intercept is (0, 5).

Front

How do you convert the equation 2x + 3y = 6 into slope-intercept form?

Back

To convert to slope-intercept form, solve for y: 3y = -2x + 6, then y = -2/3x + 2.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -3x - 7?

Back

The slope of the line is -3.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

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