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

Back

It is written as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

How do you find the slope from an equation in standard form?

Back

Convert it to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) to identify the slope (m).

Front

What does it mean if two lines are parallel?

Back

It means they have the same slope and will never intersect, indicating no solution for the system.

Front

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

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

Front

How can you check if your solution to a system is correct?

Back

Substitute the values back into the original equations to see if they hold true.
