What is the equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) of the line that passes through the points (-3,11) and (4,-3)?

(do not type any spaces)

Answer explanation

1. Start by finding the slope (m) using the slope formula or make a table.

2. Use point-slope formula to write your equation.

Researchers in Antarctica discovered a warm sea current under a glacier that is causing the glacier to melt. The ice shelf of the glacier had a thickness of approximately 450 m when it was first discovered. The thickness of the ice shelf is decreasing at an average rate of 0.06 m per day. Write the function that can be used to find the thickness of the ice shelf, f(x), after x days.

Answer explanation

Slope-Intercept Form

y=mx+b

m - slope - rate of change

b - y-intercept - starting value

Write the function, f(x), that models the table below.

(do not put any spaces in your answer)

Answer explanation

Find the slope (m).

Then find the y-intercept (b).

The y-intercept is where x=0.

You may have to rewrite the table to incorporate the y-intercept.

The graph of linear function g(x) passes through the points (3,-3) and (-9,1). Select the correct x-intercept and y-intercept.

(Hint: graph these points and draw a line first)

• (0,-6)

• (-6,0)

• (0,-2)

• (-2,0)

• (3,0)

Answer explanation

Graph the two points provided.

Draw a line that connects the points.

Look to see where the line intersects the x- and y-axis. You may need to use the slope to help find them.

X-intercept: (x, 0)

Y-intercept: (0, y)
