Slope Intercept Form

Front

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

Back

y = mx + b

Front

How do you identify the slope in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The slope is represented by 'm' in the equation.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

How would you graph the equation y = 3/4x?

Back

Begin at (0,0), put a point. Go up 3, right 4, put a point.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -2x + 5?

Back

The slope is -2.

Front

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

Back

The line is horizontal.

Front

If a line has an undefined slope, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

The line is vertical.

Front

Write the slope-intercept form of a line with a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of -4.

Back

y = 1x - 4 or y = x - 4.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation y = 2x + 3?

Back

The y-intercept is 3.

Front

How do you convert the equation 2x + 3y = 6 into slope-intercept form?

Back

Rearranging gives y = -2/3x + 2.
