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

Back

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

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

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