5.6 Graph Using Slope Intercept Form

Front

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

Back

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

Front

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'b' represent?

Back

'b' represents the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

If the slope of a line is 2, what does this indicate about the line's steepness?

Back

A slope of 2 indicates that for every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 2 units, making the line steep.

Front

How do you graph a line using the slope-intercept form?

Back

Start by plotting the y-intercept (b) on the y-axis, then use the slope (m) to find another point by rising and running.

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line, meaning there is no change in y as x changes.
