Slope Intercept Form

Front

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

Back

The slope-intercept form is given by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'm' represent?

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line, indicating how steep the line is.

Front

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'b' represent?

Back

'b' represents the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

If m = 3 and b = 6, what is the slope-intercept equation?

Back

y = 3x + 6

Front

What is the slope in the equation y = 2x + 3?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

True or False: The graph of a linear function is always straight.

Back

True

Front

What does the y-intercept tell us about a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept tells us where to start graphing the line on the y-axis.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -4x + 3?

Back

The slope is -4.

Front

If the slope is positive, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

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