Chapter 5 Linear Equations Pretest

Which equation is written in STANDARD form?

• y = 1/2x + 2
• y - 3 = -5(x + 2)
• -7x + 2y = 9
• 3x + 2 = y

Which of these represents point-slope form of a linear equation?

• y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
• Ax + By = C
• y = mx + b

Which of these represents slope-intercept form?

• y - y₁ = m(x-x₁)
• Ax + By = C
• y = mx + b

What does "m" represent in y=mx+b?

• y-intercept
• slope
• macaroni
• nothing

What is the y-intercept in the following equation:  y=-4x-5

• -4
• -4x
• 5
• -5

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)

Find the x and y intercepts
