Graphing Slope Intercept Form

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x. It indicates how steep the line is.

How do you find the y-intercept from the slope-intercept form?

Back

Front

Back

The slope is 3.

Front

Back

The y-intercept is (0, 4).

Front

How do you graph a line in slope-intercept form?

Back

Start at the y-intercept (0, b) on the graph, then use the slope (rise/run) to find another point.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, resulting in an upward slant.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, resulting in a downward slant.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
