Graphing and Writing Equations in Slope-Intercept Form

What are the two main components of the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

• Rise and Run

• X and Y coordinates

• Slope and y-intercept

• Slope and x-intercept

How can slope be calculated on a coordinate plane?

• By adding the x and y values

• By finding the product of x and y

• By using the formula y = mx + b

• By calculating rise over run

What is the first step in graphing a linear equation in slope-intercept form?

• Plotting the y-intercept

• Calculating the slope

• Drawing a horizontal line

• Plotting the x-intercept

If the slope of a line is 2, how would you graph it starting from the y-intercept?

• Go up 2 units and right 1 unit

• Go down 2 units and left 1 unit

• Go up 2 units and left 1 unit

• Go down 2 units and right 1 unit

What does a slope of 0 represent in a graph?

• A line passing through the origin

• A horizontal line

• A diagonal line

• A vertical line

When dealing with a negative fraction in slope, where should the negative sign be placed?

• In the denominator

• In the numerator

• In both numerator and denominator

• It doesn't matter

What is the goal when rearranging an equation to slope-intercept form?

• To find the y-intercept

• To get x by itself

• To get y by itself

• To find the x-intercept

How do you rearrange the equation 3y = -2x + 6 to slope-intercept form?

• y = 3/2x + 6

• y = -3/2x + 6

• y = 2/3x + 2

• y = -2/3x + 2

What are the two key elements needed to write the equation of a line from a graph?

• X-intercept and y-intercept

• Y-intercept and slope

• X-intercept and slope

• Slope and rise

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

• y = 2x + 1/2

• y = 1/2x + 2

• y = 2x + 1

• y = 1/2x - 2
