Writing Linear Equations

What does the "b" stand for in y=mx+b?

• slope
• x-intercept
• y-intercept

What is the slope of the equation:  2y + 4x = 8

• 4
• -2
• 2
• -4

What is the equation for the line with a slope of 7 and passes through (0,1)?

• y = -7x + 1
• y = 7x + 1
• y = -1/7x - 1
• y = -1/7x + 1

What is the slope of the following equation?
4x - 3 = y

• 3
• -3
• -4
• 4

How would you write the equation with a slope of 2/3 and a y-intercept of -3

• y=3/2x+3
• y=2/3-3
• y=2/3x-3
• y=2/3x+3

If m=3 and b=6, what is the correct slope intercept equation?

• y=3-6
• y=3x-6
• y=3x+6
• y=6x+3

Write the equation for the line in slope-intercept form.

• y= -1x+3
• y= 4x+3
• y=1/4x+3
• y= -4x+3

Write the equation of the line.

• y= -1x-3
• y= -3x-1
• y=-1/3x-1
• y= -3x-3

Write the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope.
(4, -7); m = -1/4

• y +7 = -1/4(x - 4)
• y - 4 = -1/4(x + 7)
• y+ 7 = 4(x - 4)
• y - 7 = -1/4(x - 4)

Write the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope:
 (-2, -1); m= -3

• y + 1 = -3(x - 2)
• y + 1 = -3(x + 2)
• y - 1 = 3(x - 1)
• y + 2 = -3(x + 1)
