Writing Linear Equations in Slope-Intercept Form

Front

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

Back

Front

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

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x; it indicates how steep the line is.

Front

What is the y-intercept in the slope-intercept form?

Back

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.

Front

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

Back

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

Back

The slope of the line is 4.

Back

The slope of the line is -2.

Front

Back

The equation is already in slope-intercept form, where the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is 6.
