Practice y=mx+b

Front

What is the slope in the equation y=mx+b?

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x. In the equation y=2x + 3, the slope is 2.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the slope from the equation y=3x - 4?

Back

The slope is the coefficient of x, which is 3.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y=3x - 4?

Back

The y-intercept is -4, which is the value of y when x=0.

Front

If the equation is y=2x + 3, what is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is 3.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y=5x + 1?

Back

The slope is 5.

Front

How can you find the y-intercept from the equation y=mx+b?

Back

Set x to 0 and solve for y.

Front

What is the slope of the line if the equation is y=-2x + 6?

Back

The slope is -2.

Front

In the equation y=4x - 7, what is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is -7.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases.
