Understanding Slope-Intercept Form

Calculate the derivative of a function

Find the area of a triangle

Put an equation in slope-intercept form

Solve a quadratic equation

y = x^2 + 2x + 1

y = mx + b

y = ax^2 + bx + c

y = a/x + b

The y-intercept

The slope

The x-intercept

The constant term

The slope

The x-intercept

The coefficient of x

The y-intercept

y = 3x - 2

y = -3x + 2

y = -3x - 2

y = 3x + 2

y = -3x - 2/1

y = -1/3 x - 2

y = -3/1 x - 2

y = -3/2 x - 1

To simplify the y-intercept

To make the equation more complex

To change the slope value

To assist with graphing the equation

y = -3x + 2

y = 3x + 2

y = -3x - 2

y = 3x - 2

To help with graphing

To make the equation more difficult

To alter the y-intercept

To change the slope

The sum of x and y

The change in x over the change in y

The product of x and y

The change in y over the change in x
