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

How do you identify the slope from the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The slope (m) is the coefficient of x in the equation.

How do you identify the y-intercept from the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the constant term in the equation, where the line crosses the y-axis.
