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 'b' represent in the slope-intercept form y = mx + b?

Back

The 'b' represents the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

How do you identify the slope from the equation y = 3x + 4?

Back

The slope is 3, which is the coefficient of x.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = -2x + 6?

Back

The y-intercept is 6.

Front

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

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 5?

Back

The slope is 0, as it is a horizontal line.

Front

How do you convert the equation 2x + 3y = 6 into slope-intercept form?

Back

Rearranging gives y = -2/3x + 2.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line is decreasing from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -x + 4?

Back

The slope is -1.

Front

How can you find the y-intercept from the equation y = 4x - 7?

Back

The y-intercept is -7, which is the constant term.
