Multiple Representations of Linear Relationships

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 1/5 x - 7?

Back

The slope is 1/5.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation y = 1/5 x - 7?

Back

The y-intercept is -7.

Front

How do you graph a linear equation using slope and y-intercept?

Back

Start at the y-intercept on the y-axis, then use the slope to find another point.

Front

What does a slope of 3/4 indicate about the line's steepness?

Back

The line rises 3 units for every 4 units it runs to the right.

Front

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of 2?

Back

The equation is y = x + 2.

Front

What does it mean if a graph is nonlinear?

Back

It means the rate of change is not constant.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 2x - 3?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation y = 2x - 3?

Back

The y-intercept is -3.

Front

How can you determine if a relationship is linear from a graph?

Back

If the graph forms a straight line, the relationship is linear.

Front

What does a slope of -1/5 indicate about the line's direction?

Back

The line descends as it moves from left to right.
