FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

The slope-intercept form is given by the equation y=mx+by = mx + b , where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you convert from point-slope form to slope-intercept form?

Back

To convert from point-slope form y−y1=m(x−x1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) to slope-intercept form, solve for yy to get y=mx−mx1+y1y = mx - mx_1 + y_1 .

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is point-slope form of a linear equation?

Back

Point-slope form is given by the equation y−y1=m(x−x1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) , where (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) is a point on the line and mm is the slope.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you find the slope between two points?

Back

The slope mm between two points (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) is calculated using the formula m=y2−y1x2−x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} .

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the y-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of bb in the slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b .

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Convert the equation y−6=−13(x−9)y - 6 = -\frac{1}{3}(x - 9) to slope-intercept form.

Back

The slope-intercept form is y=−13x+9y = -\frac{1}{3}x + 9 .

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Write the equation in point-slope form for the line through points (1, -3) and (-2, 6) using the second point.

Back

The equation is y−6=−3(x+2)y - 6 = -3(x + 2) .
