Qzz: Graphing Slope Intercept

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

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) is calculated as m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the equation of the line that passes through (1, 4) and (2, 1)?

Back

y = -3x + 7.

Front

How do you convert the slope-intercept form to standard form?

Back

To convert to standard form, rearrange the equation to the form Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers.

Front

What is the standard form of the equation 5x + 8y = 56?

Back

The standard form is already given as 5x + 8y = 56.

Front

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

Back

The slope is -3.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation y = -3x - 3?

Back

The y-intercept is -3.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.
