Front

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

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis (x=0).

How do you write the equation of a line given the slope and a point?

Back

Use the point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is the point and m is the slope.
