Graphing Lines Using Slope and Y Intercept

What is the slope-intercept form of a line?

• X = BY + M

• Y = B + MX

• X = MY + B

• Y = MX + B

When plotting a line, what does the slope represent?

• A specific point on the line

• The rate of change between X and Y

• The Y-intercept

• The X-intercept

In the camp spending example, what is the Y-intercept?

• $0.00

• $12.00

• $16.00

• $100.00

What does the slope of -12 represent in the camp spending graph?

• Gaining $12 each day

• Saving $12 each day

• Spending $12 each day

• Earning $12 each day

In the mountain climber's example, what is the initial altitude?

• 5500 feet

• 800 feet

• 5000 feet

• 1500 feet

How much altitude does the climber gain each day?

• 1000 feet

• 1500 feet

• 800 feet

• 5500 feet

What is the maximum altitude reached by the climber after five days?

• 1500 feet

• 5000 feet

• 2300 feet

• 5500 feet
