Graphing 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

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

Back

The slope is the coefficient of x, represented by m.

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0, represented by b.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 1/3x - 2?

Back

The slope is 1/3.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = -4x - 5?

Back

The y-intercept is -5.

Front

How do you find the slope from 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 the line represented by the equation y = -3x + 4?

Back

The slope is -3.

Front

If the slope of a line is positive, what does that indicate about the line's direction?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises from left to right.

Front

If the slope of a line is negative, what does that indicate about the line's direction?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line falls from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 4x + 3?

Back

The slope is 4.
