Front

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

Back

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of the dependent variable (y) with respect to the independent variable (x). It indicates how steep the line is.

Front

How do you find the slope using rise over run?

Back

The slope is calculated as the change in y (rise) divided by the change in x (run) between two points on the line.

Front

What is the y-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

Front

What is a zero of a function?

Back

A zero of a function is the value of x for which the function's output (y) is zero. It is the x-intercept of the graph.

Front

How do you determine the zero of a linear equation?

Back

To find the zero, set the equation equal to zero and solve for x.

Front

What does it mean for a line to have a negative slope?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the value of x increases, the value of y decreases, resulting in a downward slant of the line.

Front

What does it mean for a line to have a positive slope?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the value of x increases, the value of y also increases, resulting in an upward slant of the line.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the rate of change?

Back

The rate of change is calculated using the formula: Rate of Change = (Change in y) / (Change in x).

Front

What is the significance of the coefficients in a linear equation?

Back

The coefficients determine the slope and the y-intercept of the line, affecting its steepness and position on the graph.
