Calculating Slope, Finding the Y-Intercept Form

The slope of a line can always be calculated with a ratio of the run over the rise

• True

• False

A way to write an equation with two variables that is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

• Substitution

• Standard form

• slope-intercept form

• Direct variation

Where the line crosses the Y-axis

• Y-intercept

• X-intercept

• rise

• run

The difference in X-Values between any two points on a line

• Rise

• Run

• Slope

• Rate of Change

This is a ratio of the difference in Y-Values over a difference in X-Values

• Rise

• Slope

The difference in Y-values between two points on a line

• rate of change

• Run

• Rise

• direct variation

The rate of change between any two points in a linear relationship is the same

• standard form

• change in x-values

• change in y-values

• constant rate of change

Slope can be found by -

• Finding the solution to the equation

• Calculating the difference in x-values and putting it in a ratio over the difference in y-values

• Calculating the difference in y-values and putting it in a ratio over the difference in x-values

• Writing the equation in standard form

constant of proportionality

• parts of congruent figures that match

• the rate of change between points

• the constant ratio in a proportional linear relationship

• the ratios in a non-linear equation

What does "slope" measure?

• The distance between two lines

• The steepness and direction of a line

• The point where a line crosses the y-axis

• The length of a line
