What is the Slope?

Back

The slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, represented as 'm' in the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b). It can be positive, negative, zero, or undefined.

What does a Positive Slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, showing a direct relationship.

Front

What does a Negative Slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, showing an inverse relationship.

Front

What does a Zero Slope indicate?

Back

A zero slope indicates a horizontal line where the y-value remains constant regardless of the x-value.

Front

What does an Undefined Slope indicate?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line where the x-value remains constant regardless of the y-value.

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented as 'b' in the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).

Front

How do you write the slope-intercept form of a line?

Back

The slope-intercept form is written as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If m=3 and b=6, what is the slope-intercept equation?

Back

y = 3x + 6.

Front

How do you convert an equation to slope-intercept form?

Back

To convert to slope-intercept form, solve for y in the equation to isolate y on one side.

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 5x + 7?

Back

The slope of the line is 5.
