Graphing Slope Intercept Form

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The slope is the coefficient of x, represented by m.

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

If the slope of a line is 0, what does the graph look like?

Back

The graph is a horizontal line.

Front

If the slope of a line is undefined, what does the graph look like?

Back

The graph is a vertical line.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 4x + 3?

Back

The slope is 4.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = -4x - 5?

Back

The y-intercept is -5.

Front

If a line has a slope of -2, what is the rise/run?

Back

The rise/run is -2/1.

Front

How do you graph the equation y = 1/3x - 2?

Back

Start at the y-intercept (-2) on the y-axis, then use the slope (1/3) to find another point.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises as it moves from left to right.
