Point-Slope and Slope Intercept Form Practice

Front

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

Back

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

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

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

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

Back

'b' represents the y-intercept of the line.

Front

How do you convert from point-slope form to slope-intercept form?

Back

Isolate y in the equation y - y1 = m(x - x1) to get y = mx + (y1 - mx1).

Front

What is the point-slope form of a linear equation?

Back

y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Front

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

Back

The line decreases from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y - 2 = -6(x + 6)?

Back

-6.

Front

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'x' represent?

Back

'x' represents the independent variable.

Front

What is the dependent variable in the equation m = money, A = A on report card?

Back

m = money.

Front

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

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
