Front

What is the meaning of the slope in a linear equation?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x; it indicates how steep the line is.

Front

What is the rate of change in the context of a linear function?

Back

The rate of change is the ratio of the change in the dependent variable (y) to the change in the independent variable (x).

Front

How do you solve a linear equation for a variable?

Back

To solve a linear equation, isolate the variable on one side of the equation using inverse operations.

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis, indicating the value of y when x is zero.
