Graphing a Line Given the Starting Point and Slope Review

What letter represents slope?

• x

• y

• o

• m

What error did the student make when plotting the point (3, 4) according to the picture?

• The student moved left along the x-axis when he should have moved right

• The student plotted the y-coordinate in place of the x-coordinate

• The student didn't make a mistake

• Both Options 1 and 2

What is the formula for slope?

• rise over run

• run over rise

• flat

• up and down

It is the level of inclination or steepness of line.

• x-intercept

• y-intercept

• slope

• parallel line

Find the slope of the line.

• -5/4

• 5/4

• -4/5

• 4/5

What is the formula to find the slope of a line?

• Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

• Slope = (x2 - x1) / (y2 - y1)

• Slope = (x1 - x2) / (y1 - y2)

• Slope = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

Find the slope.

• 3/2

• -3/2

• (-0,-3)

• none of the above

• 5x-6y=-3

•   2x-3y=6

• 5x+3y=6

•       5x+6y=38

What is the first step in graphing linear equation given a point and its slope.

• Connect the two points to form a line

• Given the slope, starting from the plotted point to determine the location of the next point.

• Plot the given point

• None of these

Which of the following is the slope of the line passes through the points (-3, -6) and (-5,0)?

• -2

• -3

• -4

• 5
