Slope-Intercept Form Review

Front

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

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the slope from the equation y = 2/3x - 6?

Back

The slope is 2/3.

Front

What does the slope represent in a linear equation?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

Front

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

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line descends from left to right.

Front

What is the y-intercept in the equation y = -3x + 4?

Back

The y-intercept is 4.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 3x?

Back

The slope is 3.

Front

How can you graph the equation y = -5/3x + 2?

Back

Start at the y-intercept (0, 2) and use the slope -5/3 to find another point.

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line.

Front

What is the slope of the line with the equation y = 4/3x - 1?

Back

The slope is 4/3.
