slope intercept form

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x.

Front

What does the 'b' represent in the slope-intercept form 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 a positive slope on a graph?

Back

A positive slope rises from left to right.

Front

How do you identify a negative slope on a graph?

Back

A negative slope falls from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y=4x-2?

Back

The slope is 4.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y=-3x+5?

Back

The slope is -3.

Front

What type of slope does the equation y=0x+7 have?

Back

It has a zero slope, meaning it is a horizontal line.

Front

What type of slope does the equation x=2 represent?

Back

It has an undefined slope, meaning it is a vertical line.

Front

If the slope of a line is 1/2, what does this indicate about the line's steepness?

Back

The line rises 1 unit for every 2 units it moves to the right, indicating a gentle slope.

Front

Write the slope-intercept form of a line with a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of 3.

Back

y = -2x + 3.
