Front

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

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0, indicating where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

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

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants.

Front

What does it mean if a line has a positive slope?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases.
