Coordinate Plane & Intercepts

Front

What is the x-intercept on a graph?

Back

The x-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis, meaning the y-coordinate is 0.

Front

What does the x-coordinate have to be for a point to be on the y-axis?

Back

The x-coordinate must be 0 for a point to be on the y-axis.

Front

What is the y-intercept on a graph?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis, meaning the x-coordinate is 0.

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin on the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).

Front

In which quadrant is the point (3, -2) located?

Back

The point (3, -2) is located in Quadrant 4.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-3, 2) located?

Back

The point (-3, 2) is located in Quadrant 2.

Front

What is the general form of a linear equation?

Back

The general form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants.

Front

How do you find the slope of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

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