FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you determine the slope from two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?
Back
The slope (m) can be calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front
What does the y-intercept represent in a linear equation?
Back
The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented by the value of y when x = 0.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How can you convert a linear equation from standard form to slope-intercept form?
Back
To convert from standard form Ax + By = C to slope-intercept form, solve for y: y = (-A/B)x + (C/B).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you find the equation of a line given a point and the slope?
Back
Use the point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is the point and m is the slope.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for finding the equation of a line given two points?
Back
First, calculate the slope using m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Then use the point-slope form to find the equation.
