What is the equation of the line?

• y = -3/4x + 3
• y = 4/5x + 3
• y = -4/5x + 3
• y = -4/5x

What is the equation of the line shown in the graph?

• y = 0

• y = 1

• y = 2

• x = 1

Vertical or horizontal?
y = -6

• vertical 
• horizontal
• neither

Vertical or horizontal?
x = 4

• vertical 
• horizontal
• neither

Jenny writes the equation y = 1/2x +5.
Why is she incorrect?

• The slope is -2, the equation should be
  y = -2x + 5
• The y-intercept is 4, the equation should be y = -2x + 4
• The slope is -1/2, the equation should be
   y = -1/2x + 5
• The y-intercept is -5, the equation should be y = -2x - 5

In slope-intercept form, write the equation of the line passing through the points (-3,4) and (-4,2).

• y = -2x + 10

• y = -2x - 10

• y = 2x - 10

• y = 2x + 10

Write the equation in slope-intercept form: 5x - 2y = 12

• y = 5/2x - 6
• y = -5/2x - 6
• y = 5x +12
• y = -5x + 12

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)
