Interpreting Graphs Using Slope Intercept Form

Which statement best describes "m"?

• x- intercept

• y - intercept

• slope

• bee

• 3 units up, 4 units right

• 2 units up

• 3 unit down, 4 units right

• 4 units down, 3 units right

• 4 units up, 3 units right

• 2 units down

Answer explanation

DON'T SKIP THIS!

Perform the correct steps until you have plotted all possible visible points. (The final graph will be shown after the next equation.)

What is the slope?

• $2/1 mile drive

• $1/2 miles driven

• 2 miles driven/$1 

• 1 mile driven/$2

What is the Slope-Intercept Form?

• Positive Slope

• X=9

• Undefined Slope

• Y=mx+b which show the slope(m)+Y-axis(b). Which helps you calculate the slope.

Interpret the slope from the graph.

• $0; how much 0 gallons of gas costs

• It cost $3.75 per gallon to get gas.

• To buy gas, it cost $15 per gallon.

• You can receive 4 gallons of gas.

Graph

y - 2 = 1/2(x + 4)

plot the point,

apply the slope

• 10 units up

• 2 units down, 1 unit right

• 10 units down

• 1 unit down, 2 units right

• 2 units up, 1 unit right

• 1 unit up, 2 units right

Answer explanation

DON'T SKIP THIS!

Perform the correct steps until you have plotted all possible visible points. If correct, the graph of both equations should match the picture shown.

• 9 units up

• 5 units down, 1 unit left

• 9 units down

• 5 units down, 1 unit right

• 5 units up, 1 unit left

• 1 unit up, 5 units right

Answer explanation

DON'T SKIP THIS!

You would have normally plotted 5 units up, 1 unit right, but there was no room to make a point that way. Therefore, you had to immediately go in the opposite directions of 5 down & 1 left.
