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 |
