Understanding Slope-Intercept Form

What does "m" represent in y=mx+b?

• y-intercept
• slope
• macaroni
• nothing

What is 'b' in this linear equation? y= 5x - 6

• 6

• 5

• y

• -6

Which of these represents slope-intercept form?

• y - y₁ = m(x-x₁)
• Ax + By = C
• y = mx + b

What is the slope of the graph?

• -2

• 2

• 1/2

• -1/2

The starting point in a situation is represented by the _______________

• slope

• y-intercept

• m

• x value

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

How would you write the equation with a slope of -3 and a y-intercept of 1

• y= -3x + 1

• y= -x - 3

• y= -3x - 1

• y= x + 3

Write the equation for the line in slope-intercept form.

• y= -1x+3
• y= 4x+3
• y=1/4x+3
• y= -4x+3

Write the equation of the line.

• y= -1x-3
• y= -3x-1
• y=-1/3x-1
• y= -3x-3

Write the equation of the line.

• y = -1/3x - 2
• y = 1/3x - 2
• y = 3x - 2
• y = -3x - 2
