Writing Equations in Slope intercept form

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

What does the 'm' represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

The 'm' represents the slope of the line, indicating how steep the line is.

Front

What does the 'b' represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated as m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the slope of a line that rises to the right?

Back

The slope is positive.

Front

What is the slope of a line that falls to the right?

Back

The slope is negative.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope is zero.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope is undefined.

Front

If a line has a slope of 7/5, what does this indicate about the line?

Back

It indicates that for every 5 units moved horizontally, the line rises 7 units vertically.

Front

How can you determine the y-intercept from a graph?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
