FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the rise (change in y) over the run (change in x).

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you find the slope from two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

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.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does the y-intercept represent in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, b) in the equation y = mx + b.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If a line has a slope of 4/3, what does this indicate about its steepness?

Back

A slope of 4/3 indicates that for every 3 units moved horizontally (run), the line rises 4 units (rise), making it relatively steep.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you write a linear equation given a slope and a y-intercept?

Back

Use the slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, substituting m for the slope and b for the y-intercept.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula to calculate the slope from a graph?

Back

To calculate the slope from a graph, use the formula: slope = rise/run, which is the vertical change divided by the horizontal change.
