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 'm' represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

In the equation y = mx + b, 'm' represents the slope, which indicates the rate of change of y with respect to x.

Front

What does 'b' represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

In the equation y = mx + b, 'b' represents the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept from an equation?

Back

To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 in the equation and solve for y.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = 5x - 4?

Back

The y-intercept is -4.

Front

How do you determine the slope from a graph?

Back

The slope is determined by the rise over run, which is the change in y divided by the change in x between two points on the line.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 2x + 3?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

How would you write the equation of a line with a slope of 2/3 and a y-intercept of -3?

Back

The equation is y = 2/3x - 3.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -3x - 5?

Back

The slope is -3.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.
