Algebra Ch 5

Foundations of Algebra Review Cards

QuestionAnswer
slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope-intercept form of a line The equation of the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Point-slope form of a line y - y1 = m (x - x1)
direct variation y = kx
Variation constant k; y/x = k
Write an equation in slope intercept form given the following: m = 2, b = -6 y = 2x - 6
Write the equation of a line that passes through the given points: (-5,5) and (1,-1) y = -1x + 0
Write the equation of a line that has the given slope and passes through the point: m = -2/3; (9,-6) y + 6 = -2/3(x-9) Or y = -2/3x + 0
Identify the slope and y-intercept. y = 5 + 3/4x m = 3/4 b = 5
Write the equation of a line that passes through the given points. (-4,-9) and (-8,0) y = -9/4x - 18
Write the equation of a line that has the given slope and passes through the point: m = 5; (-2,-3) y = 5x + 7
y-intercept The coordinate at which a graph intersects the y-axis.
Slope The steepness of a line
Zero Slope Horizontal Line
Positive Slope Line moves up from left to right
Negative Slope Line moves down from left to right
Y varies directly as x. What is the constant of variation when y = 14 when x = 2? k = 14/2 = 7
Y varies directly as x. What is the direct variation equation when y = 14 when x = 2? y = 7x
Y varies directly as x. Y = 3 when x = -2. What is the value of x when y = 12? x = -8
Name the slope and a point on the line y-3=2/3(x+5) m = 2/3; (-5,3)
Name a point on the line y+2=3(x+4) (-4,-2)
Name a point on the line y-10=-6(x-3) (3,10)
Graph You will need to graph a line in the coordinate plane. Start with the y-intercept (b) and follow your slope rule to plot new points. Don't forget to connect the points to form a continuous graph!
You are awesome! Thank you for studying for the test tomorrow! (Mention this message to me in private or write me a note on the test tomorrow for 1 bonus point :))

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
