Front

What does 'm' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

Slope

Front

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

Back

Y-intercept

Front

Convert the equation y = 5x - 3 to standard form.

Back

5x - y = 3

Front

What is the first step to convert y = ½x + 10 to standard form?

Back

Subtract ½x from both sides.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -2x + 4?

Back

-2

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = 3x + 7?

Back

7

Front

How do you find the x-intercept of the equation y = mx + b?

Back

Set y = 0 and solve for x.

Front

What is the general form of a linear equation?

Back

Ax + By + C = 0

Front

What does it mean for a line to be in slope-intercept form?

Back

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