Standard Form to 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 convert an equation from standard form to slope-intercept form?

Back

To convert from standard form (Ax + By = C) to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), solve for y.

Front

What does the slope (m) represent in a linear equation?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-intercept (b) represent in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, indicating the value of y when x = 0.

Front

Convert the equation -3y + 5x = 12 to slope-intercept form.

Back

y = -4 + (5/3)x.

Front

Convert the equation 4x - 8y = 72 to slope-intercept form.

Back

y = (1/2)x - 9.

Front

Convert the equation 5x - 3y = -9 to slope-intercept form.

Back

y = (5/3)x + 3.

Front

What is the first step in converting an equation to slope-intercept form?

Back

Isolate the term with y on one side of the equation.

Front

If the slope of a line is 2, what does this mean?

Back

It means that for every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 2 units.

Front

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

Back

The slope is -3.
