Slope & System of Equations

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-intercept represent in a graph?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis (x=0).

Front

How can you identify the slope from a graph?

Back

The slope can be identified by selecting two points on the line and calculating the rise over run.

Front

What is a system of equations?

Back

A system of equations is a set of two or more equations with the same variables.
