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

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that mean?

Back

A slope of 0 means the line is horizontal and there is no change in y as x changes.

Front

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

Front

How do you graph a line given its slope and y-intercept?

Back

Start at the y-intercept on the y-axis, then use the slope to determine the rise over run to plot another point.
