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 does the slope (m) represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

Front

What does the y-intercept (b) represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, meaning when x = 0.

Front

What type of slope does a line that rises from left to right have?

Back

A line that rises from left to right has a positive slope.

Front

What type of slope does a line that falls from left to right have?

Back

A line that falls from left to right has a negative slope.

Front

What type of slope does a horizontal line have?

Back

A horizontal line has a zero slope.

Front

What type of slope does a vertical line have?

Back

A vertical line has an undefined slope.

Front

If the slope of a line is -3, what does this indicate about the line?

Back

A slope of -3 indicates that for every 1 unit increase in x, y decreases by 3 units.

Front

In the equation y = -2x + 5, what is the slope?

Back

The slope is -2.

Front

In the equation y = 4x - 1, what is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is -1.
