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.

Front

What is the difference between a linear equation and an inequality?

Back

A linear equation shows a relationship that is equal, while a linear inequality shows a relationship that is not necessarily equal, often represented with symbols like <, >, ≤, or ≥.

Front

How do you graph a linear equation?

Back

To graph a linear equation, find the y-intercept (b) and plot it on the y-axis. Then use the slope (m) to find another point by rising and running from the y-intercept.

What does it mean if a line has a positive slope?

Back

A line with a positive slope rises from left to right, indicating that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases.

What does it mean if a line has a negative slope?

Back

A line with a negative slope falls from left to right, indicating that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases.

Front

How do you solve a linear inequality?

Back

To solve a linear inequality, isolate the variable on one side of the inequality sign, similar to solving an equation, and then graph the solution on a number line.
