What does it mean for two ratios to be proportional?

Back

Two ratios are proportional if they have the same value when simplified. For example, the ratios \( \frac{15}{2} \) and \( \frac{30}{4} \) are proportional because both simplify to \( 7.5 \).

What is the formula for slope in a coordinate plane?

Back

The formula for slope (m) is given by \( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \), where \( (x_1, y_1) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) \) are two points on a line.

What is a ratio?

Back

A ratio is a comparison of two quantities by division. It shows how many times one value contains or is contained within the other.

What is the difference between a proportional relationship and a non-proportional relationship?

Back

In a proportional relationship, the ratio between two variables is constant. In a non-proportional relationship, the ratio changes.

How do you determine if a set of ratios is proportional?

Back

To determine if a set of ratios is proportional, cross-multiply and check if the products are equal.

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.

What does the y-intercept represent in a graph?

Back

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

Front

If the slope of a line is 2, what does this mean?

Back

A slope of 2 means that for every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 2 units.

What is the formula to find the y-coordinate of a point on a line given the slope and x-coordinate?

Back

Using the slope-intercept form, you can find the y-coordinate by substituting the x-coordinate into the equation \( y = mx + b \).
