Identify m and b

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0, represented by b in the equation.

Front

In the equation y = 7/6x - 2, what is the y-intercept?

Back

-2

Front

In the equation y = -2x + 1, what is the y-intercept?

Back

1

Front

In the equation y = 2 + 3x, which number represents the y-intercept?

Back

2, because it's by itself.

Front

In the equation y = -1/2x + 4, what is the y-intercept?

Back

4

Front

In the equation y = 5 + 2x, which number represents the slope?

Back

2, because it's with x.

Front

What does the slope (m) represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x.

Front

How do you identify the slope in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The slope is the coefficient of x, represented by m.

Front

What is the general form of a linear equation?

Back

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

Front

If the slope is negative, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

It indicates that the line is decreasing as it moves from left to right.
