Back

Point-slope form

Front

Define slope in the context of a linear equation.

Back

Slope is the measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the rise over run.

Front

Back

The y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

How do you convert a linear equation from standard form to slope-intercept form?

Back

Isolate y on one side of the equation.

Front

What is the significance of the point-slope form of a linear equation?

Back

It allows you to write the equation of a line when you know a point on the line and the slope.

Front

What is the general formula for calculating the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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