Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line 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

What is the y-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

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

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

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

Front

How can you determine if a function is linear from a table of values?

Back

A function is linear if the differences between the y-values are constant for equal intervals of x-values.

Front

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

Front

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

Back

The coefficients in a linear equation determine the slope and the y-intercept, which define the line's steepness and where it crosses the y-axis.
