2 Graphing Linear Functions and Intercepts

Front

What is the slope of a linear function?

Back

The slope of a linear function represents the rate of change of the function. It indicates how much the y-value changes for a unit change in the x-value.

Front

What happens to the slope when a linear function is multiplied by a factor greater than 1?

Back

The slope becomes steeper, indicating a greater rate of change.

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be parallel?

Back

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