Slope and Y-Intercept

Front

What is the slope in the equation y=mx+b?

Back

The slope is represented by 'm'.

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept is the value of 'y' when 'x' is 0, represented by 'b'.

Front

How do you identify the slope from a linear equation?

Back

The slope is the coefficient of 'x' in the equation.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y=2x+5?

Back

The y-intercept is 5.

Front

If the slope of a line is 3, what does this mean?

Back

For every 1 unit increase in 'x', 'y' increases by 3 units.

Front

Write the equation of a line with a slope of -1 and a y-intercept of 4.

Back

y=-1x+4 or y=-x+4.

Front

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

Back

The slope is 1/2.

Front

In the equation y=mx+b, what does 'b' represent?

Back

'b' represents the y-intercept.

Front

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

Back

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y=0.5x+2?

Back

The y-intercept is 2.
