Front

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, y).

Front

What is the equation of a horizontal line?

Back

The equation of a horizontal line is of the form y = b, where b is the y-coordinate of any point on the line.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

How do you find the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated as m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a line?

Back

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

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

Front

How do you convert the equation of a line from standard form to slope-intercept form?

Back

To convert from Ax + By = C to slope-intercept form, solve for y to get y = (-A/B)x + (C/B).

Front

What is the relationship between parallel lines in terms of slope?

Back

Parallel lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts.
