Slope Intercept Form

Front

What is the slope in the slope-intercept form equation?

Back

The slope is the coefficient of x in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

What does the 'b' represent in the slope-intercept form equation y = mx + b?

Back

The 'b' represents the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

How do you identify the slope from the equation y = 2x + 5?

Back

The slope is 2, which indicates the line rises 2 units for every 1 unit it moves to the right.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = -3x + 4?

Back

The y-intercept is 4, meaning the line crosses the y-axis at (0, 4).

Front

If the slope of a line is negative, what does that indicate about the line's direction?

Back

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

Front

Convert the equation y = 3x - 7 into slope-intercept form.

Back

The equation is already in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m = 3 and b = -7.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 1/2x + 3?

Back

The slope is 1/2.

Front

How can you find the equation of a line given a slope of 4 and a y-intercept of -2?

Back

The equation is y = 4x - 2.

Front

What does it mean if two lines have the same slope?

Back

If two lines have the same slope, they are parallel and will never intersect.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.
