What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

The slope-intercept form is given by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

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

Back

To convert from standard form (Ax + By = C) to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), solve for y.

What is the y-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of y when x = 0.

What does it mean if a system of equations has no solution?

Back

It means the lines represented by the equations are parallel and never intersect.

Front

What does it mean if a system of equations has infinitely many solutions?

Back

It means the equations represent the same line, so every point on the line is a solution.
