What is the significance of the y-intercept in a graph?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, b) in the slope-intercept form.

Front

How can you convert from standard form to slope-intercept form?

Back

To convert from standard form to slope-intercept form, solve for y in terms of x.

Front

What does it mean for a line to have a negative slope?

Back

A line with a negative slope decreases as it moves from left to right, indicating an inverse relationship between x and y.
