slope intercept form

Front

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.

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

How do you identify the slope from the slope-intercept form?

Back

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

Front

If the slope is negative, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

The line decreases as it moves from left to right.

Front

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

Back

The slope is 3.

Front

How can you convert the standard form of a linear equation to slope-intercept form?

Back

Rearrange the equation to solve for y, isolating it on one side.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -1/2x + 4?

Back

The slope is -1/2.

Front

What does it mean if two lines have the same slope?

Back

They are parallel and will never intersect.

Front

How do you graph a line in slope-intercept form?

Back

Start at the y-intercept (b) on the y-axis, then use the slope (m) to find another point.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = -4x + 5?

Back

The y-intercept is 5.
