Graphing Proportional Relationships with Slope

What is the general form of a proportional relationship equation?

• y = kx or y = mx

• y = k + x

• y = k - x

• y = k / x

In the equation y = mx, what does 'm' represent?

• The constant of proportionality

• The y-intercept

• The slope

• The x-intercept

What does the 'rise' in the slope represent?

• The horizontal change between points

• The vertical change between points

• The total distance between points

• The constant of proportionality

In the equation y = 4/3x, what does the '4' represent?

• The y-intercept

• The x-intercept

• The run

• The rise

What is the starting point for graphing any proportional relationship?

• (1,1)

• (0,0)

• (0,1)

• (1,0)

How do you graph a negative slope?

• Go down and to the right

• Go up and to the right

• Go down and to the left

• Go up and to the left

In the equation y = -1/4x, what does the '-1' indicate?

• The run

• The rise

• The y-intercept

• The x-intercept

How can you convert a whole number slope into a fraction?

• By subtracting 1 from it

• By dividing it by 1

• By adding 1 to it

• By multiplying it by 1

In the equation y = 3x, what is the rise and run when converted to a fraction?

• Rise: 3, Run: 3

• Rise: 1, Run: 1

• Rise: 3, Run: 1

• Rise: 1, Run: 3

What should you always remember about the direction of movement when graphing?

• Always move to the left

• Always move to the right

• Always move up

• Always move down
