Slope and Y-Intercept

Front

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

Back

The slope is 3/2.

Front

What is the y-intercept in the equation y = 3/2x + 3?

Back

The y-intercept is (0, 3).

Front

Define slope in mathematical terms.

Back

Slope is defined as rise/run.

Front

What is the y-intercept in the equation y = -2x + 5?

Back

The y-intercept is 5.

Front

What is the slope in the equation y = -2/3x + 4?

Back

The slope is -2/3.

Front

What does the y-intercept represent in a graph?

Back

The y-intercept represents the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

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

Back

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 1/2x?

Back

The slope is 1/2.

Front

What is the general form of a linear equation?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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