Front

What does the slope (m) represent in a linear equation?

Back

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

What does the x-coordinate represent in a point (x, y)?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of the point on the Cartesian plane.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in a point (x, y)?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of the point on the Cartesian plane.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.
