Writing and Graphing 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

How do you identify the slope from the equation y = \frac{3}{2}x + 3?

Back

The slope is \frac{3}{2}.

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept (b) represents the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

If the slope of a line is negative, what does that indicate about the line's direction?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line descends from left to right.

Front

Write the slope-intercept form of a line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of -4.

Back

y = 2x - 4.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -5x + 2?

Back

The slope is -5.

Front

How do you convert the equation y = -3x + 5 into slope-intercept form?

Back

The equation is already in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation y = 4x - 1?

Back

The y-intercept is -1.

Front

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

Back

A slope of 0 means the line is horizontal.

Front

How would you write the equation of a line with a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of 3?

Back

y = -2x + 3.
