FLASHCARD QUESTION
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.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does the slope (m) represent in the equation y = mx + b?
Back
The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does the y-intercept (b) represent in the equation y = mx + b?
Back
The y-intercept (b) is the value of y when x is 0, representing the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you determine the slope from two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?
Back
The slope (m) is calculated as m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If a line has a slope of 4, what does this mean?
Back
A slope of 4 means that for every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 4 units.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Write the equation of a line with a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of 5.
Back
The equation is y = -2x + 5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the equation for a line that passes through the point (0, 20) and has a slope of -3?
Back
The equation is y = -3x + 20.
