The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is given by y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you identify the y-intercept from the equation y = mx + b?
Back
The y-intercept is the value of b in the equation y = mx + b, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What does the slope (m) represent in the equation y = mx + b?
Back
The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If the slope of a line is negative, what does that indicate about the direction of the line?
Back
A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How can you convert the equation 2y = 4x + 6 into slope-intercept form?
Back
To convert to slope-intercept form, divide the entire equation by 2: y = 2x + 3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation y = -3x + 5?
Back
The y-intercept is 5, which is the value of b in the equation.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you find the equation of a line given a slope and a point on the line?
Back
Use the point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is the point and m is the slope.
