slope intercept form

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

What do the variables m and b represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

In the equation y = mx + b, m represents the slope of the line, and b represents the y-intercept.

Front

If m = 3 and b = 6, what is the slope-intercept equation?

Back

y = 3x + 6

Front

What type of slope does a horizontal line have?

Back

A horizontal line has a slope of zero.

Front

What type of slope does a vertical line have?

Back

A vertical line has an undefined slope.

Front

If the slope is positive, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises from left to right.

Front

If the slope is negative, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line falls from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 2x + 2?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -x + 2?

Back

The slope is -1.

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) is calculated as m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
