What is a positive slope?

Back

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

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

Back

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

How do you convert the equation y = -2x - 5 to standard form?

Back

To convert to standard form, rearrange to 2x + y = -5.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line y = 2x - 5?

Back

The y-intercept is -5, which is the point (0, -5) on the graph.
