Slope and Slope Intercept

Front

What is the slope in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x.

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

How do you identify the slope from the equation y = 3/2x + 3?

Back

The slope is 3/2.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = 3/2x + 3?

Back

The y-intercept is (0, 3).

Front

What is the general form of a linear equation?

Back

The general form is y = mx + b.

Front

How do you graph the equation y = -x + 1?

Back

Start at the y-intercept (0, 1) and use the slope -1 to find another point.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = x + 1?

Back

The slope is 1.

Front

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

Back

The equation is y = -x + 1.

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.
