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

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

Back

In the equation, 'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

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

Back

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

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 does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that mean?

Back

A slope of 0 means the line is horizontal and does not rise or fall.

Front

If a line has an undefined slope, what does that mean?

Back

An undefined slope means the line is vertical.

Front

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

Back

The equation is y = 3x + 2.

What is the cost equation for renting a canoe for x hours if the cost is $30 per hour plus a $20 transportation fee?

Back

The cost equation is y = 30x + 20.
