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 letter 'b' represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

The letter 'b' represents the y-intercept of the line.

Front

How do you identify the slope from the equation y = -1/3x + 1?

Back

The slope is -1/3.

Front

What is the y-intercept in the equation y = -1/3x + 1?

Back

The y-intercept is 1.

Front

Write the slope-intercept form of a line with a slope of -3 and a y-intercept of 0.

Back

The equation is y = -3x.

Front

What ordered pair represents the y-intercept in the equation y = -2/3x + 2?

Back

The ordered pair is (0, 2).

Front

How do you graph the equation y = 3/4x?

Back

Begin at (0,0), put a point. Go up 3, right 4, and put another point.

Front

What does the slope of a line indicate?

Back

The slope indicates the steepness and direction of the line.

Front

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

Back

A positive slope means the line rises from left to right.

Front

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

Back

A negative slope means the line falls from left to right.
