Graphing Linear Equations

The point where the line crosses the y-axis is called the:

• origin
• x-intercept
• y-intercept
• slope

• 
• 
• 
• 

What is the y-intercept of the line graphed below?

• 3
• 4
• -3
• 4/3

Which ordered pair could represent a y-intercept on a graph?

• (6, 0)
• (0, 4)
• (-1, 3)
• (2, 0)

The x-axis of a graph is also know as

• Vertical axis

• Horizontal axis

The y-axis of a graph is also know as

• Vertical axis

• Horizontal axis

What error did the student make when plotting the point (3, 4) according to the picture?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

• The student moved left along the x-axis when he should have moved right
• The student plotted the y-coordinate in place of the x-coordinate
• The student didn't make a mistake
• Both Options 1 and 2

Which line is being represented by the graph?

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