slope intercept form

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does the slope (m) represent in a linear equation?

Back

The slope 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 a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, b).

Front

Determine the slope and y-intercept of the equation y = 4x - 2.

Back

Slope: 4, Y-intercept: (0, -2).

Front

If m = -1 and b = 5, what is the slope-intercept equation?

Back

y = -1x + 5 or y = -x + 5.

Front

What type of slope does a horizontal line have?

Back

A horizontal line has a slope of zero.

Front

What type of slope does a vertical line have?

Back

A vertical line has an undefined slope.

Front

Find the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -3x + 1.

Back

Slope: -3.

Front

What is the slope in the equation y = 5x + 4?

Back

Slope: 5.

Front

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

Back

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