Slope Intercept Form

Front

What is the slope in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The slope (m) represents the steepness of the line.

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

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

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the slope of the line if it rises 3 units and runs 2 units?

Back

The slope is 3/2.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

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

Back

The line descends from left to right.

Front

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

Back

The line ascends from left to right.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = 2x + 4?

Back

The y-intercept is (0, 4).

Front

What is the slope of the equation y = -3x + 1?

Back

The slope is -3.
