slope intercept form

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 'm' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

What does 'b' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

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

Front

If a line has a slope of -3, what does this indicate about the line's direction?

Back

A slope of -3 indicates that the line descends from left to right.

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) is calculated as 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

Which of the following equations is in slope-intercept form? y - y1 = m(x - x1), Ax + By = C, or y = mx + b?

Back

y = mx + b is in slope-intercept form.

Front

If the slope of a line is 0, what does this mean about the line?

Back

A slope of 0 means the line is horizontal.

Front

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

Back

The slope is -3.

Front

How can you determine if two lines are parallel using their slopes?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope.
