finding slope and y intercept practice 11-21-24 Grade

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

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

Front

Identify the slope in the equation y = mx + b.

Back

The slope is represented by 'm' in the equation.

Front

Name the y-intercept for the equation y = 6x - 3.

Back

The y-intercept is -3, which is the value of b in the equation.

Front

Look at the graph. Identify the y-intercept.

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis, for example, (0, 4).

Front

Does the graph represent a linear function?

Back

A linear function is represented by a straight line. If the graph is not a straight line, it does not represent a linear function.

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x. It indicates how steep the line is.

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers.

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

If the slope of a line is 0, what does that indicate?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line, meaning there is no change in y as x changes.
