Slope intercept form

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a line?

Back

The slope-intercept form of a line is given by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What does the slope (m) represent in a linear equation?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. It is the value of y when x = 0.

How would you write the equation with a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of 2?

Back

y = 1x + 2 or y = x + 2
