Writing Linear Equations

Front

What does 'b' represent in y=mx+b?

Back

y-intercept

Front

What letter represents the slope of a line in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

m

Front

Which equation best represents the line on the graph? Options: y= 1/2x, y= -1/2x, y = 2x, y = -2x

Back

y= 1/2x

Front

Which equation represents the following graph? (check the coordinate carefully--> the numbers on the y-axis are a bit off) Options:

y = 3x + 2

,

y = -2x + 3

,

y = 2x + 3

,

y = -3x + 2

Back

y = 2x + 3

Front

Equation for the line in slope-intercept form.

Back

y= 4x+3

Front

What is the equation of this line?

Back

y = -1x + 2

Front

What is the equation of this line? Options: y= 3/2x+2, y=3/2x-3, y=2/3 x+2, y=2/3x-3

Back

y=3/2x-3

Front

Write the equation of the line.

Back

y= -3x-3

Front

Give the equation for the graph

Back

y = - 2x + 4

Front

Why is the equation y = 1/2x + 5 incorrect?

Back

The slope is -2, the equation should be y = -2x + 5
