Flashcard - Graphing Equations in Slope Intercept Form

Front

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

Back

Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the y-intercept from the slope-intercept form?

Back

Front

What is the significance of a positive slope?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, resulting in an upward slant of the line.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, resulting in a downward slant of the line.

Front

How can you determine if two lines are parallel using their equations?

Back

Front

What does it mean if the slope is zero?

Back

A slope of zero means the line is horizontal, indicating that y does not change as x changes.

Front

What does it mean if the slope is undefined?

Back

An undefined slope means the line is vertical, indicating that x does not change as y changes.
