Standard form Rate of change
Domain Interval
Equations & Key Ideas
Slope Intercept Form: y=mx+b
Standard Form: Ax+ By=C
Point-Slope Form: y− y 1=m(x−x 1)
rise
Slope:
run
∆ y change∈ y
Slope: =
∆ x change∈ x
y 2− y 1
Slope given two points: m=
x 2−x 1
Positive slope: Line slopes up from left to right
Negative slope: Line slopes down from left to right
Horizontal line slope: 0 (zero)
Vertical line slope: undefined
X-intercept: let y=0 ( __, 0 )
Y-intercept: let x=0 ( 0, __ )
HOY: Horizontal, 0 (zero) slope, y=
VUX: Vertical, Undefined slope, x=
