What are linear relationships?

Back

Linear relationships are mathematical relationships that can be represented by a straight line on a graph. They have a constant rate of change.

What is the slope in a linear equation?

Back

The slope (m) in a linear equation represents the rate of change of the dependent variable (y) with respect to the independent variable (x). It indicates how steep the line is.

What does 'b' represent in the equation y=mx+b?

Back

'b' represents the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 3?

Back

The equation is y = 2x + 3.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation y = -3x + 5?

Back

The y-intercept is 5.

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.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a linear relationship?

Back

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

Front

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers.

How can you determine if two lines are parallel?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope but different y-intercepts.
