Front

How do you find the x-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

To find the x-intercept of a linear equation, set y = 0 and solve for x.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

To find the y-intercept of a linear equation, set x = 0 and solve for y.

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise over run).

Front

What does it mean for a point to be a solution to an equation?

Back

A point (x, y) is a solution to an equation if substituting x and y into the equation makes it true.

Front

What is the difference between a solution and a non-solution in the context of inequalities?

Back

A solution to an inequality satisfies the inequality, while a non-solution does not satisfy it.

Front

How do you graph a linear equation?

Back

To graph a linear equation, find at least two points that satisfy the equation and plot them on a coordinate plane, then draw a line through the points.

Front

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

Front

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

Back

The slope indicates the direction and steepness of the line; a positive slope means the line rises, while a negative slope means it falls.

Front

How do you determine if a point lies on a line represented by an equation?

Back

To determine if a point lies on a line, substitute the x and y coordinates of the point into the equation. If the equation holds true, the point lies on the line.
