What is the formula for slope?
m=y2-y1/x2-x1 (Slope is also rise over run)
100
What is the difference between parallel lines and perpendicular lines?
Parallel lines are lines in the same plane that never intersect. Parallel lines have the same slope and different y-intercepts. Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect to form right angles. Perpendicular lines means that the product of their slopes is -1.

Write an equation given the slopes and y-intercepts. FInd the slope and y-intercepts of the equations. 1. m=9/2 b=3 2. m=8/3 b=2/3 3. y=-2x+1 4. y=x-5/4
1. y=9/2x+3 2. y=8/3x+2/3 3. m=-2 b= 1 4. m=1 b= -5/4

What is the formula for point-slope form?
y-y1=m(x-x1)
200
What is the negative reciprocal?
You end up with a fraction that has the opposite sign, either + or -, and the reciprocal of your original number or fraction.

Write an equation for the line that contains (5,1) and is parallel to y=3/5x-4
y=3/5x-2
200
In standard form, can the A or B values be negative or zero?
No. In standard form, the A and B values need to be natural numbers.

In the equation y=mx+b, what does m and b stand for?
m=slope b= y=intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis)
