Writing Equations In Slope Intercept Form Given M And B

Front

What is the slope in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-intercept represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The y-intercept (b) is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

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

Back

The slope is -2.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

How do you write the equation of a line given a slope of 3 and a y-intercept of -1?

Back

The equation is y = 3x - 1.

Front

If a line has a slope of 1/2, what does this indicate about the relationship between x and y?

Back

For every 2 units increase in x, y increases by 1 unit.

Front

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

Back

The slope is 0, as it is a horizontal line.

Front

How do you convert the equation y = 2x + 5 into slope-intercept form?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The slope is -1/3.
