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 equation y = mx + b?

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

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

Back

'b' represents the y-intercept, the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept from the equation y = -4x - 5?

Back

The y-intercept is -5.

Front

How do you find the slope from the equation y = 4x + 3?

Back

The slope is 4.

Front

If the slope is 2/3 and the y-intercept is -3, how would you write the equation?

Back

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

Front

What is the y-intercept in the equation y = 5x - 6?

Back

The y-intercept is -6.

Front

What is the slope in the equation y = 3x + 2?

Back

The slope is 3.

Front

How can you identify the slope from a graph of a line?

Back

The slope is the rise over run, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a linear equation?

Back

The slope indicates the steepness and direction of the line; a positive slope means the line rises, while a negative slope means it falls.
