Geometry Semester Exam Topic 6

Front

What is slope-intercept form?

Back

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

Front

Describe the slopes of parallel lines.

Back

The slopes of parallel lines are the same.

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the rise over run (change in y over change in x).

Front

What is the relationship between the slopes of perpendicular lines?

Back

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of b in the slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be parallel?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and will never intersect.
