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

Back

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is given by the formula y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

How do you find the slope of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of y with respect to x; it indicates how steep the line is.

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of y when x = 0.

Front

Convert the point-slope form y - y1 = m(x - x1) to slope-intercept form.

Back

To convert to slope-intercept form, solve for y: y = mx - mx1 + y1.

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers, and A should be non-negative.

Front

How do you convert from slope-intercept form to standard form?

Back

To convert, rearrange the equation y = mx + b to the form Ax + By = C by moving all terms to one side.

Front

What is the significance of a negative slope?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, showing an inverse relationship between the two variables.

How do you write an equation in slope-intercept form given a slope and a point?

Back

Use the point-slope form y - y1 = m(x - x1) and then rearrange to y = mx + b.

Front

What is the formula to find the y-intercept from a linear equation in standard form?

Back

To find the y-intercept from Ax + By = C, set x = 0 and solve for y.
