| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what are two parts of a linear equation? | slope and y-intercept |
| What does "b" in y=mx + b stand for? | y-intercept |
| What does "m" stand for in y=mx + b? | slope |
| What does slope mean in a graph? | the change in y divided by the change in x; "rise" over "run" |
| "y=k" represents what kind of line? | a horizontal line through "k" |
| "x=h" represents what kind of line? | a vertical line though "h" |
| What does (h,k) represent? | vertex of a parabola (quadratic curve) |
| what directions does a positive slope represent? | "Up to the right" |
| What directions does a negative slope represent? | "down to the right" |
| What does "(0,b) represent? | the y-intercept of a line or f(0) |
| what does "(a,0) represent? | the x-intercept of a line |
| How to I find the slope of a line on graph? | draw a triangle by finding the change in y between two points and then finding the change in x between two points and create a ratio |
| How do I find the slope of a line from a table? | draw a triangle by finding the change in y between two points and then finding the change in x between two points and create a ratio |
| How do I find the slope of a line from a line standard form? | write -b by a |
