Writing Linear Funtions Flashcards
1
Q
What is Slope-Intercept Form?
A
An equation type written as y=mx+b
2
Q
How do you calculate Slope?
A
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
3
Q
What is Y-Intercept?
A
The point where the line cuts through the y-axis.
4
Q
What is X-Intercept?
A
The point where the line cuts through the x-axis.
5
Q
How do you find the Slope with two points?
A
You use the Slope Calculation Formula or you take the values from the points to find the differences and find the rise/run.
6
Q
What is Point-Slope Form?
A
An equation written as y-y1=m(x-x1)
7
Q
What is the easiest way to tell if two Linear Functions are parallel?
A
You see if they have the same slope.
8
Q
What is the difference between the slopes of Perpendicular Lines?
A
One slope is the opposite reciprocal of the other.
