Slope & Graphing Linear Equations (KD) Test Review

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 (m) represent in a linear equation?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x; it indicates how steep the line is.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept (b) in the slope-intercept form?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0.

Front

If m = 2 and b = -5, what is the slope-intercept equation?

Back

y = 2x - 5.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 7x + 1?

Back

The slope is 7.

Front

Convert the equation 2x + 3y = 6 into slope-intercept form.

Back

y = -2/3x + 2.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = -4x + 10?

Back

The y-intercept is 10.

Front

If the slope of a line is 0, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line.

Front

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

Back

The slope is -1.

Front

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation for a line with a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of -2.

Back

y = 3x - 2.
