Slope intercept form

Front

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

Back

The slope-intercept form is given by the equation 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, which indicates the steepness and direction of the line.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

How do you find the slope from two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) can be calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 3x + 2?

Back

The slope (m) is 3.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation y = -2x + 4?

Back

The y-intercept (b) is 4.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that mean?

Back

A slope of 0 means the line is horizontal and does not rise or fall.

Front

If a line has an undefined slope, what does that mean?

Back

An undefined slope means the line is vertical and does not have a defined rise or run.

Front

What is the slope of the line y = -rac{1}{2}x + 1?

Back

The slope (m) is -rac{1}{2}.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line y = 5?

Back

The y-intercept (b) is 5, and the slope is 0.
