Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The point where the line intersects the y-axis.

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept.

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through (4,10) and (2,10).

Back

0

Front

In the equation y = 2x - 5, where would the line cross the y-axis?

Back

-5

Front

Tell whether the slope of the line is positive, negative, zero, or undefined: A vertical line.

Back

Undefined

Front

What does the slope (m) represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The rate of change of y with respect to x.

Front

If a line has a slope of 2, what does this mean?

Back

For every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 2 units.

Front

What is the formula to calculate the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
