Identifying Slope Intercept and Standard Form

Write the equation of the line.

• y = -1/3x - 2

• y = 1/3x - 2

• y = 3x - 2

• y = -3x - 2

Write the equation of the line.

• y= -1x-3

• y= -3x-1

• y=-1/3x-1

• y= -3x-3

Choose the standard form of the equation of the line shown in the diagram.

What is the slope?

• -3/2

• -2/3

What is the slope?

• -2

• -1/2

How do you find the x-intercept of a linear equation in standard form?

• Set y to zero and solve for x

• Set x to zero and solve for y

• Set both x and y to zero

• Solve for y when x is zero

Why is the standard form useful for graphing linear equations?

• It helps in quickly identifying the x and y intercepts

• It provides the slope directly

• It is easier to solve for y

• It simplifies the equation
