What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers, and A should be non-negative.

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

Back

To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 in the equation and solve for x.

Front

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

Back

To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 in the equation and solve for y.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

Convert the equation 2x + 3y = 6 to slope-intercept form.

Back

y = -2/3x + 2.

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x; it indicates how steep the line is.

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a graph?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, indicating the value of y when x = 0.

Front

How can you determine if two lines are parallel?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

Front

How can you determine if two lines are perpendicular?

Back

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.

Front

What is the x-intercept of the equation 4x - 10y = 20?

Back

The x-intercept is 5.
