 $y=\frac{3}{2}x+3$  

• slope:  $5$   

• slope:  $\frac{3}{2}$  

• slope:  $4$   

• slope:  $3$  

What does 'b" represent in

 $y=mx+b$  

• y-intercept

• slope

• x-axis

• direction

•  y-intercept:  $3$  

•  y-intercept:  $1$  

• y-intercept:  $\frac{3}{2}$  

•  y-intercept:  $5$  

How would you write the equation of a line with slope of  $\frac{2}{3}$   and y-intercept of  $-3$  ?

•  $y=\frac{3}{2}x+3$  
  

•  $y=\frac{2}{3}+3$  
  

•  $y=\frac{2}{3}x-3$  
  

•  $y=-3x+\frac{2}{3}$  
  

 $y=\frac{3}{2}x+3$  

Determine the slope and y-intercept of the equation.

• slope: 5     y-intercept: (0,3) 

• slope: 3/2    y-intercept: (0,3) 

• slope: 4     y-intercept: (0,3/2)

• slope: 1/5     y-intercept: (0,5)
