Analyzing Linear Relationships Skills Review

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

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

Front

When given two similar triangles on the same line, they will ALWAYS have the same _______________?

Back

slope

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

Front

If m=3 and b=6, what is the correct equation written in slope-intercept form?

Back

Front

What does the y-intercept represent in a linear equation?

Back

Front

What is the relationship between the slopes of parallel lines?

Back

The slopes of parallel lines are equal.

Front

What is the relationship between the slopes of perpendicular lines?

Back

The slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals.

Front

What does 'rise over run' refer to in the context of slope?

Back

'Rise over run' refers to the formula for calculating slope, which is the vertical change (rise) divided by the horizontal change (run).

Front

If the slope of a line is 2, what does this indicate about the line's steepness?

Back

A slope of 2 indicates that for every 1 unit the line moves horizontally (run), it moves 2 units vertically (rise), making it relatively steep.

Front

Back

The y-intercept is -3, which means the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0, -3).
