Slope-Intercept Form

Front

What is the slope of a line in slope-intercept form?

Back

The slope (m) indicates the steepness of the line and is the coefficient of x in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

What does the y-intercept represent in the slope-intercept form?

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the constant term in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

How do you identify a positive slope from a graph?

Back

A positive slope rises from left to right, indicating that as x increases, y also increases.

Front

How do you identify a negative slope from a graph?

Back

A negative slope falls from left to right, indicating that as x increases, y decreases.

Front

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

Back

-1

Front

Which of the following is not a type of slope: positive, negative, undefined, all of these are types of slope?

Back

All of these are types of slope.

Front

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

Back

1

Front

How would you write the equation with a slope of 4/5 and a y-intercept of -1?

Back

y = \frac{4}{5}x - 1

Front

What is the slope of the graph represented by the equation y = -2x + 3?

Back

-2

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line, where x remains constant and y can take any value.
