Front

What does the slope represent in a linear equation?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

Front

If a line has a slope of -2, what does this indicate about the line's direction?

Back

A slope of -2 indicates that for every 1 unit increase in x, y decreases by 2 units, meaning the line descends from left to right.

Back

The point (1, -3) is a specific point on the line represented by the equation, where x = 1 and y = -3.

How do you convert a point-slope equation to slope-intercept form?

Back

Front

Back

The slope of the line is -\frac{2}{7}.

Front

What does it mean if two lines have the same slope?

Back

If two lines have the same slope, they are parallel and will never intersect.

Front

How do you determine if a point lies on a line given in point-slope form?

Back

To determine if a point (x, y) lies on the line, substitute x and y into the point-slope equation and check if the equation holds true.

Front

What is the first step in writing the point-slope form of a line?

Back

The first step is to identify a point (x_1, y_1) on the line and the slope m.
