Points on a Line

Front

What is a point on a line?

Back

A point on a line is a specific location that has no length, width, or height, represented by a coordinate on a number line.

What does the variable 'x' represent in a linear equation?

Back

In a linear equation, 'x' typically represents the independent variable, which can take on any value.

Front

What does the variable 'y' represent in a linear equation?

Back

In a linear equation, 'y' typically represents the dependent variable, which depends on the value of 'x'.

Front

If x = 1, what is the value of y in the equation y = x + 1?

Back

y = 2.

Front

If x = 0, what is the value of y in the equation y = x - 1?

Back

y = -1.

Front

If x = 2, what is the value of y in the equation y = x - 1?

Back

y = 1.

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise/run).

Front

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of y when x = 0.

Front

What is a linear equation?

Back

A linear equation is an equation that makes a straight line when graphed, typically in the form y = mx + b.

Front

What does 'm' represent in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

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