What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

Front

How do you find the slope of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

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

What is a linear inequality?

Back

Front

How do you graph a linear inequality?

Back

To graph a linear inequality, first graph the corresponding linear equation as a dashed or solid line, then shade the region that satisfies the inequality.

Front

What is the rate of change in a linear function?

Back

The rate of change is the same as the slope of the line, representing how much the y-value changes for a unit change in the x-value.

Front

What does it mean if two lines are parallel?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and will never intersect.

Front

What is the difference between a solid line and a dashed line when graphing inequalities?

Back

A solid line indicates that points on the line are included in the solution (>= or <=), while a dashed line indicates they are not included (> or <).

Front

How do you solve a system of equations?

Back

You can solve a system of equations using methods such as substitution, elimination, or graphing to find the point(s) where the equations intersect.
