INT 3 - Lesson 6.6

Front

What is the y-intercept in the equation y = MX + B if a line crosses the y-axis at -2?

Back

-2

Front

What type of line is used for inequalities that include 'less than or equal to' or 'greater than or equal to'?

Back

Solid line

Front

What does the shaded area in a graph of an inequality represent?

Back

The solutions to the inequality

Front

What does the letter 'M' represent in the equation y = MX + B?

Back

The slope

Front

How do you determine the slope of a line?

Back

By calculating the rise over the run

Front

What is the definition of slope in a graph?

Back

The measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as rise over run.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

M = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Front

What does a solid line indicate in graphing inequalities?

Back

It indicates that the points on the line are included in the solution set.

Front

What is the difference between a solid line and a dotted line in graphing inequalities?

Back

A solid line includes the boundary points, while a dotted line does not.

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

It is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, representing the value of y when x = 0.
