Slope-Intercept Form

Front

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.

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

Front

What does the y-intercept (b) represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, indicating the value of y when x = 0.

Front

If a line has a positive slope, what does that indicate about the line's direction?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises from left to right.

Front

If a line has a negative slope, what does that indicate about the line's direction?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line falls from left to right.

Front

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

Back

The slope of the line is 3.

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept of the line is 4.

Front

How do you determine the slope from the equation y = 5x - 1?

Back

The slope is the coefficient of x, which is 5.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 0x + 7?

Back

The slope is 0, indicating a horizontal line.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line.
