Identify Slopes and Identify Slope and Y-Intercept

Front

What is a positive slope?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, resulting in an upward line on a graph.

Front

What is a negative slope?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, resulting in a downward line on a graph.

Front

What does a zero slope represent?

Back

A zero slope represents a horizontal line where the y-value remains constant as the x-value changes.

Front

What does an undefined slope represent?

Back

An undefined slope represents a vertical line where the x-value remains constant as the y-value changes.

Front

How do you identify the slope from the equation y = mx + b?

Back

In the equation y = mx + b, 'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

What is the slope of the equation y = -8x?

Back

The slope (m) is -8.

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept is the value of 'b' in the equation, representing the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = 1/3x - 2?

Back

The y-intercept is -2.

Front

How do you find the x-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x.

Front

What is the x-intercept of the equation y = 1/3x - 2?

Back

The x-intercept is (6, 0).
