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

What does the slope (m) represent in a linear equation?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-intercept (b) represent in a linear equation?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The slope is calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 3x + 1?

Back

The slope is 3.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -2x + 5?

Back

The slope is -2.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line.

Front

If a line has an undefined slope, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line.

Front

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of -3?

Back

The equation is y = 1x - 3 or y = x - 3.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 1/4x + 2?

Back

The slope is 1/4.
