Equation of a Line

What does a line on a coordinate plane represent?

• Only the x-intercept of an equation

• The steepness of a graph

• All possible solutions to an equation

• A single solution to an equation

How is the slope of a line defined?

• The angle of the line with the x-axis

• The point where the line crosses the y-axis

• The ratio of the change in y to the change in x

• The distance between two points

What is the slope of a line that rises 3 units for every 5 units it moves to the right?

• 3/5

• 2/3

• 1/2

• 5/3

In the slope-intercept form y = mx + b, what does 'b' represent?

• The slope of the line

• The midpoint of the line

• The x-intercept

• The y-intercept

If a line has a slope of 1/3 and a y-intercept of -2, what is the equation of the line?

• y = -1/3x + 2

• y = 3x - 2

• y = 1/3x - 2

• y = 1/3x + 2

What is the point-slope form of a line equation?

• y = m(x + b)

• x = my + b

• y - y1 = m(x - x1)

• y = mx + b

Given a point (3, 4) and a slope of 2, what is the slope-intercept form of the line?

• y = 2x - 2

• y = 2x + 3

• y = 2x + 4

• y = 2x - 4
