Where does the Y-intercept occur on a graph?

• At the highest point of the line

• At the origin

• Where the line crosses the Y-axis

• Where the line crosses the X-axis

If a line crosses the Y-axis at 8, what is the Y-intercept?

• 1

• 8

• 0

• 7

How do you determine the slope of a line?

• By finding the Y-intercept

• By finding the X-intercept

• By calculating rise over run between two points

• By measuring the length of the line
