Write an equation given slope & y-intercept

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

• slope
• x-intercept
• y-intercept

Write an equation in slope-intercept form given slope, m and y-intercept, b:

m = –5 b = –6

• y = 5x - 6

• y = -5x + 6

• y = -6x - 5

• y = -5x - 6

Which equation represents slope-intercept form?

• Ax + By = C

• y = mx + b

• y - y₁ = m ( x - x₁ )

• y + y₁ = m ( x + x₁ )

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 an equation in slope-intercept form given slope, m and y-intercept, b:

m = 0, b = 2

• y = 2x

• y = 0

• y = 2

Write an equation in slope-intercept form given slope, m and y-intercept, b:

m = -1/2, b = -3
