Writing Equations in Slope intercept form

Front

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

Back

How do you determine the slope from a graph?

Back

The slope is determined by the rise over run, which is the change in y divided by the change in x.

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of 'b' in the equation y = mx + b.

How can you find the y-intercept from a table of values?

Back

The y-intercept can be found by identifying the value of y when x is 0.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line is decreasing as it moves from left to right.

How can you convert an 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.
