What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise over run).

Front

How do you determine the slope from a table of values?

Back

To determine the slope from a table, select two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) and use the formula: slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the y-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0, representing the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

What is the general form of a linear equation?

Back

The general form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

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

Back

In the equation y = mx + b, 'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

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

Back

In the equation y = mx + b, 'b' represents the y-intercept of the line.

Front

How can you find the equation of a line given its slope and y-intercept?

Back

You can write the equation of the line using the slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, substituting the values of m and b.

How do you write the equation of a line with a slope of 1/4 and a y-intercept of -3?

Back

The equation of the line is y = 1/4x - 3.
