Writing Equations in Slope Intercept Form Review

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

Front

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

Front

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the value of y when x = 0, representing the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

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

What type of slope does a horizontal line have?

Back

A horizontal line has a slope of zero.

Front

What type of slope does a vertical line have?

Back

A vertical line has an undefined slope.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Back

Slope: -1/3, y-intercept: 1.
