Slope Intercept Form

Front

What is the slope in the slope-intercept form equation?

Back

The slope is the coefficient of x in the equation of the form y = mx + b, where m represents the slope.

Front

How do you calculate slope using a graph?

Back

Slope is calculated as rise over run.

Front

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

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

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

Back

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

Front

How do you find the y-intercept from the equation y = -2/3x + 2?

Back

The y-intercept is (0, 2).

Front

How would you graph the equation y = 3/4x?

Back

Begin at (0,0), then go up 3 and right 4 to place a point.

Front

Write the slope-intercept form of a line with a slope of -3 and y-intercept of 0.

Back

The equation is y = -3x.

Front

What is the rise in the slope calculation?

Back

The rise is the vertical change between two points on a line.

Front

What is the run in the slope calculation?

Back

The run is the horizontal change between two points on a line.

Front

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

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line.
