Graphing 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 'm' represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

The 'm' represents the slope of the line, indicating how steep the line is.

Front

What does the 'b' represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the y-intercept from the equation y = -4x - 5?

Back

The y-intercept is -5, which is the value of b in the equation.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 4x + 3?

Back

The slope is 4, which is the coefficient of x in the equation.

Front

If a line has a negative slope, what does that indicate about its direction?

Back

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

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

How can you determine if a slope is positive, negative, or zero from a graph?

Back

A positive slope rises from left to right, a negative slope falls from left to right, and a zero slope is a horizontal line.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -2x + 1?

Back

The slope is -2.
