Front

How do you graph the inequality y > 2?

Back

Graph the line y = 2 as a dashed line and shade the area above the line.

Front

How do you graph the inequality y ≤ -3?

Back

Graph the line y = -3 as a solid line and shade the area below the line.

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 of a line represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x.

Front

What is a positive slope?

Back

A positive slope means that as x increases, y also increases.
