Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

undefined

Front

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

Back

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does the slope represent in a linear equation?

Back

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

Front

Write the slope-intercept form of a line with a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of -2.

Back

y = 3x - 2

Front

What is point-slope form of a linear equation?

Back

y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Front

Write the point-slope form of a line that passes through (2, 5) with a slope of 4.

Back

y - 5 = 4(x - 2)

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 2) and (3, 6)?

Back

2

Front

If a line has a slope of -1, what does that indicate about its direction?

Back

The line decreases as it moves from left to right.
