How do you determine if a point is a solution to a system of equations?

Back

Plug the x-value and y-value into both equations and check if both are true.

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

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants.

Front

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

Back

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
