Slope Intercept Form

Front

What is the Slope-Intercept Form of a linear equation?

Back

The Slope-Intercept Form is 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, indicating 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, indicating the value of y when x = 0.

Front

How do you determine if a slope is positive?

Back

A slope is positive if the line rises from left to right.

Front

How do you determine if a slope is negative?

Back

A slope is negative if the line falls from left to right.

Front

What is a zero slope?

Back

A zero slope indicates a horizontal line, meaning there is no change in y as x changes.

Front

What is an undefined slope?

Back

An undefined slope occurs with a vertical line, where x remains constant and y changes.

Front

Given the equation y = 3x + 4, what is the slope?

Back

The slope is 3.

Front

Given the equation y = -2x + 1, what is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is 1.

Front

What type of graph represents a linear equation?

Back

A linear equation is represented by a straight line on a graph.
