What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The coefficients in a linear equation determine the slope and the y-intercept, which affect the line's steepness and position on the graph.

Front

How do you graph a linear equation?

Back

To graph a linear equation, identify the y-intercept, plot it on the graph, then use the slope to find another point and draw the line.

Front

What is the relationship between parallel lines?

Back

Parallel lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, meaning they will never intersect.
