Front

Define slope in the context of a linear equation.

Back

Slope is the measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the change in y over the change in x (rise over run).

Front

What does 'b' represent in the slope-intercept form y = mx + b?

Back

'b' represents the y-intercept, the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
