FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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

Back

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

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

FLASHCARD QUESTION

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.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of b in the slope-intercept form.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Convert the equation y + 5 = -3(x - 6) into slope-intercept form.

Back

y = -3x + 13.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is point-slope form of a linear equation?

Back

Point-slope form is given by the equation y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that has a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of 3.

Back

y = -2x + 3.
