Maxwell's Slope-Intercept Form

Front

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

Back

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

Front

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'm' represent?

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line, indicating how steep the line is.

Front

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'b' represent?

Back

'b' represents the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

How do you find the slope from the equation y = 3x + 2?

Back

The slope is 3, which is the coefficient of x.

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept is 5, which is the constant term.

Front

If the slope of a line is 0, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

If the slope of a line is undefined, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical.

Front

Convert the slope-intercept equation y = 4x - 1 to standard form.

Back

The standard form is 4x - y = 1.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -rac{1}{2}x + 3?

Back

The slope is -rac{1}{2}.

Front

Determine the slope and y-intercept of the equation y = 5x + 4.

Back

Slope: 5, y-intercept: (0, 4).
