How do you find the slope of a linear graph?

• By finding the area under the graph

• By counting the number of points on the graph

• By using the formula: (change in y) / (change in x)

• By using the formula: (change in x) / (change in y)

What is the equation of a linear graph in slope-intercept form?

• y = x + m + b

• y = mx + b

• y = bx + m

• y = mx - b

What does the y-intercept of a linear graph represent?

• The midpoint of the graph

• The point where the graph intersects the x-axis

• The highest point on the graph

• The point where the graph intersects the y-axis
