Slope-Intercept Form

Front

What is the slope in the slope-intercept form?

Back

The slope (m) represents the steepness of the line and is the coefficient of x in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

What is the y-intercept in the slope-intercept form?

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the constant term in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, resulting in an upward slant from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, resulting in a downward slant from left to right.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line where x remains constant and y can take any value.

Front

Back

The slope is -\frac{5}{2} or -2.5.

Front

Back

The slope is -1.

Front

Back

The y-intercept is -1.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that mean?

Back

A slope of 0 means the line is horizontal and does not rise or fall as x changes.

Front

If a line has a positive slope, what can we say about its direction?

Back

The line rises from left to right.
