Slope Intercept Form (Algebra 1)

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

0

What does -3/-6 simplify down to?

1/2

At what point do you start graphing the line y=x

A zero on the y-axis

What happens when you subtract a negative

It becomes addition

What is the Y-Intercept

The point where the equation of a line crosses the Y-axis.

What is the y-intercept of a vertical line

There is none.

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Undefined

How do you count the slope for the line y=x

Up 1 Right 1

To write the equation of a line, you need to find what?

slope (m) and y-intercept (b)

The m in the y=mx+b is the

slope of the line (rise over run)

What is the equation for a vertical line that goes through 5

x=5

Write the equation if b = -7 and m = 1/2

y = 1/2x - 7

The b in y=mx+b is the

y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis)

Write the equation if b = 3 and m = -2

y= -2x+3

What is the equation for a horizontal line that goes through 5

y=5

What is slope-intercept form for equation of a line.

y=mx+b
