Slope & Linear Equations Review

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, typically represented as 'm' in the equation of a line, and is calculated as the ratio of the rise (change in y) over the run (change in x).

Front

What does the letter 'b' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The letter 'b' represents the y-intercept of the line, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0, indicating where the line intersects the y-axis.

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).

Front

What is the first step to solve the equation 12g - 5 = 19?

Back

The first step is to add 5 to both sides of the equation.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical and does not have a defined steepness.

Front

What is the difference between the x-intercept and the y-intercept?

Back

The x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis (y=0), while the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis (x=0).

Front

Which ordered pair represents a y-intercept?

Back

The ordered pair (0, 4) represents a y-intercept.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0, indicating no rise as it runs.
