Slope Intercept Form

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does 'b' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

'b' represents the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

How do you identify the slope from the equation y = 4x + 3?

Back

The slope is the coefficient of x, which is 4.

Front

If the slope (m) is negative, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line is decreasing from left to right.

Front

What is the slope in the equation y = -2x + 5?

Back

The slope is -2.

Front

How can you convert the equation y = 3x + 1 into slope-intercept form?

Back

The equation is already in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b.

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept is -4.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that mean?

Back

A slope of 0 means the line is horizontal.

Front

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 3?

Back

The equation is y = 2x + 3.

Front

How do you find the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
