What is the slope in the equation y=mx + b?

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (4, 7)?

Back

The slope is 2.

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 y-intercept represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the value of y when x = 0.

Front

If a line has a slope of 3, what does this mean?

Back

For every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 3 units.
