What is a linear equation?

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

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

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

Front

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

Front

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of -3?

Back

Front

What does it mean if a line has an undefined slope?

Back

An undefined slope occurs when a line is vertical, meaning it goes straight up and down. This happens when the x-coordinates of two points are the same.

Front

How do you write the equation of a line given a slope and a point?

Back

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0, indicating that there is no change in the y-coordinate as the x-coordinate changes.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined because the change in x is zero, leading to division by zero in the slope formula.

Front

How can you determine the slope from a table of values?

Back

Calculate the change in y divided by the change in x between two points in the table.
