y=mx+b

Front

What does the equation y=mx+b represent?

Back

It represents the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What is the slope in the equation y=3x+6?

Back

The slope (m) is 3.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept from the equation y=mx+b?

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the value of y when x=0.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y=3/2x + 3?

Back

The y-intercept is 3.

Front

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

Back

It indicates that the line descends from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y=(-3/4)x-3?

Back

The slope is -3/4.

Front

How can you determine if a line has a positive slope?

Back

If the value of m in the equation y=mx+b is positive, the line has a positive slope.

Front

What is the general form of a linear equation?

Back

The general form is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants.

Front

What does the term 'slope' refer to in a linear equation?

Back

The slope refers to the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

Front

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

Back

Rearrange the equation to solve for y in terms of x (y = mx + b).
