ALGEBRA Semester 1 REVIEW

Front

What is the equation of a line in slope-intercept form?

Back

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given by y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

How do you find the slope of a line given two points?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.

Front

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

Back

The point-slope form of a linear equation is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Front

What does the range of a function represent?

Back

The range of a function represents all the possible output values (y-values) that the function can produce.

Front

How do you solve a system of equations using substitution?

Back

To solve a system of equations using substitution, solve one equation for one variable and substitute that expression into the other equation.

Front

What is the slope of a line that is horizontal?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a line that is vertical?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

How do you convert from point-slope form to slope-intercept form?

Back

To convert from point-slope form (y - y1 = m(x - x1)) to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), solve for y.

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, b) in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

What is the difference between independent and dependent variables?

Back

The independent variable is the one that is changed or controlled in an experiment, while the dependent variable is the one that is measured or affected.
