Understanding Slope-Intercept Form

What does the 'm' in the slope-intercept form represent?

• Coefficient of y

• Slope

• X-intercept

• Y-intercept

If the slope (m) is 2 and the y-intercept (b) is -1, what is the equation in slope-intercept form?

• y = -2x + 1

• y = -2x - 1

• y = 2x - 1

• y = 2x + 1

How do you write an equation with a slope of -3/5 and a y-intercept of 4?

• y = -3/5x + 4

• y = -3/5x - 4

• y = 3/5x + 4

• y = 3/5x - 4

What is the slope-intercept form of an equation with a slope of 1/4 and a y-intercept of 0?

• y = 1/4x

• y = x/4

• y = 1/4x + 1

• y = 1/4x - 1

How do you find the slope from a graph?

• Multiply the rise by the run

• Count the rise over the run

• Count the run over the rise

• Divide the rise by the run

Given a graph, if you move down 6 and right 4, what is the simplified slope?

• -3/2

• 3/2

• -2/3

• 2/3

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 2/5 and a y-intercept of -3?

• y = -2/5x + 3

• y = 2/5x + 3

• y = 5/2x + 3

• y = 2/5x - 3

If a line goes through the point (0, 5) and has a slope of 1/4, what is the equation?

• y = 1/4x + 5

• y = 4x + 5

• y = 1/4x - 5

• y = -1/4x + 5

How do you write the equation of a line with a slope of 4/3 and a y-intercept of 0?

• y = 4/3x + 3

• y = 3/4x

• y = 4/3x

• y = 3/4x + 4

What is the equation for a line with a slope of -5 and a y-intercept of 8?

• y = -5x + 8

• y = 5x - 8

• y = -5x - 8

• y = 5x + 8
