Slope Intercept Form Part 2

Front

What is the formula for slope in a linear equation?

Back

Slope is found by counting Rise over Run.

Front

In the equation Y = mx + b, what does 'm' represent?

Back

m stands for Slope.

Front

Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).

Back

Example: y = 2x - 1.

Front

What does the 'b' in the slope-intercept form represent?

Back

b represents the Y Intercept.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 3x + 4?

Back

The slope is 3.

Front

If a line has a slope of -2, what does this indicate about the line?

Back

The line is decreasing.

Front

How do you find the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

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

Back

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.

Front

If the slope of a line is 0, what type of line is it?

Back

It is a horizontal line.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line is increasing.
