What is a linear equation in two variables?

Back

A linear equation in two variables is an equation that can be written in the form ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are constants, and x and y are variables.

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

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

What is the y-intercept of 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.

If a line has a slope of 2, what does this indicate about the line's steepness?

Back

A slope of 2 indicates that for every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 2 units, making the line steep.
