TEST - Graphing equations in slope-intercept form 2025

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 slope (m) represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

Front

How do you find the y-intercept (b) from the equation y = mx + b?

Back

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

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = 2x + 5?

Back

The y-intercept is 5.

Front

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

Back

It means that for every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 3 units.

Front

How can you graph the equation y = -x + 2?

Back

Start at the y-intercept (0, 2) and use the slope (-1) to find another point.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 4x - 1?

Back

The slope is 4.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

Front

How do you convert the equation y = 3x - 4 into slope-intercept form?

Back

The equation is already in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b.

Front

What is the value of the y-intercept in the equation y = -2x + 3?

Back

The y-intercept is 3.
