Slope-Intercept Form Matching

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

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

What is the y-intercept in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0; it is represented by b in the equation.

Front

How do you determine if a graph is linear?

Back

A graph is linear if it forms a straight line.

Front

What does a slope of zero indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of zero indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 4?

Back

The slope is 0, as the line is horizontal.

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) can be calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, resulting in a downward slant.

Front

What is the equation of a line with a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of 4?

Back

The equation is y = -2x + 4.

Front

How do you convert the equation y = 4 into slope-intercept form?

Back

The equation is already in slope-intercept form with a slope of 0 and a y-intercept of 4.
