Writing Slope Intercept Equations

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 'm' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

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

Front

What does 'b' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the slope from the equation y = -4x + 2?

Back

The slope is -4.

Front

How do you identify the y-intercept from the equation y = 3x + 6?

Back

The y-intercept is 6.

Front

If the slope is 2/3, what does this indicate about the line?

Back

It indicates that for every 3 units moved horizontally, the line moves up 2 units.

Front

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of -2?

Back

The equation is y = 1x - 2 or y = x - 2.

Front

How do you convert the slope-intercept form to standard form?

Back

Rearrange the equation to the form Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -2?

Back

The slope is 0, indicating a horizontal line.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation x = -2?

Back

The y-intercept is undefined, as this represents a vertical line.
