Prior Knowledge Questions
Q1.What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?
y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Q2.What does the slope of a line represent?
Slope represents the rate of change — how much y changes for every 1 unit increase in x (rise over run).
Q3.What is the y-intercept?
The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis (when x = 0).
