Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept from the slope-intercept form?

Back

Front

Back

To find the y-intercept, set x = 0. The y-intercept is 5.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.
