Slope & Slope-Intercept Form Entry Ticket

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis. It is represented by the value of 'b' in the slope-intercept form equation y = mx + b.

Front

Identify the type of slope: A line that rises from left to right.

Back

Positive slope.

Front

What is the slope-intercept equation form?

Back

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

Identify the type of slope: A horizontal line.

Back

Zero slope.

Front

Identify the type of slope: A vertical line.

Back

Undefined slope.

Front

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

Back

The slope of the line.

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept of the line.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the slope of a line that goes down from left to right?

Back

Negative slope.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

The line is horizontal.
