slope intercept form

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

How do you identify the slope from the equation y = 2x + 5?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

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

Back

The line is horizontal.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -4x + 1?

Back

The slope is -4.

Front

How would you write the equation of a line with a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of 2?

Back

y = 1x + 2 or y = x + 2.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

It indicates that the line is decreasing from left to right.

Front

How can you graph the equation y = 3?

Back

It is a horizontal line that crosses the y-axis at 3.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 5x - 2?

Back

The slope is 5.

Front

If the slope of a line is 1/2, what does this mean in terms of rise over run?

Back

For every 2 units you move to the right (run), you move up 1 unit (rise).
