Linear Equations and Their Solutions

This video tutorial covers the concept of slope, its calculation, and its role in proportional relationships. It explains how to graph linear equations using the slope-intercept form and solve linear equations with variables on both sides. The tutorial also introduces systems of linear equations, demonstrating how to find solutions graphically and algebraically using substitution and elimination methods.

What is the formula used to calculate the slope of a line between two points?

• Difference between vertical and horizontal changes

• Vertical change divided by horizontal change

• Horizontal change divided by vertical change

• Sum of vertical and horizontal changes

In a proportional relationship, what does the slope of the graph represent?

• The y-intercept

• The unit rate

• The midpoint

• The x-intercept

What happens to the graph of a line when it is translated vertically?

• It intersects the x-axis

• It remains parallel to the original line

• It becomes less steep

• It becomes steeper

What is the equation form called that includes both slope and y-intercept?

• Point-slope form

• Standard form

• Quadratic form

• Slope-intercept form

When solving linear equations, what does it mean if the final equation is never true?
