Which statement best describes "m"?

• x- intercept

• y - intercept

• slope

• tasty

Which is the slope-intercept equation of the line with a slope of 2/3 and a y-intercept of -2?

• y = 2/3x - 2

• y = -2x + 2/3

• y = -2/3x + 2

• y = 2/3x + 2

Which is the slope-intercept equation of the line with a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of 5?

• y = -2x + 5

• y = 5x - 2

• y = -2/5x + 5

• y = 2x - 5

What is the equation of a line with m = 6/5 and b = -5?

• y = 6/5x - 5

• y = 6/5x + 5

• y = -5x + 6/5

• y = 5x - 6/5

Find the slope of the following equation. (Hint: Get y alone)
y-5 = -2 (x +6)
