FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept can be found by setting x = 0 in the equation and solving for y.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the difference between positive and negative slopes?

Back

A positive slope means the line rises as it moves from left to right, while a negative slope means the line falls as it moves from left to right.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does it mean if two linear functions have the same slope?

Back

If two linear functions have the same slope, they are parallel and will never intersect.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How can you determine which linear function has a greater slope?

Back

You can compare the coefficients of x in the equations. The function with the larger coefficient has a greater slope.
