Solving for y and Graphing

Front

The point where the line crosses the y-axis is called the:

Back

y-intercept

Front

Solve for y: 5x + y = -10

Back

y = -5x - 10

Front

Solve for y: 2x + 2y = 6

Back

y = -x + 3

Front

In the following equation, what is the y-intercept? y = -3x + 7

Back

7

Front

Solve for y: x - 5y = 20

Back

y = 1/5x - 4

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = mx + b?

Back

m (the coefficient of x)

Front

What does the term 'slope' represent in a linear equation?

Back

The rate of change of y with respect to x.

Front

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants.

Front

How do you find the x-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

Set y = 0 and solve for x.

Front

What is the relationship between the slope and the y-intercept in the slope-intercept form?

Back

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
