Exploring the Slope-Intercept Form in Algebra

What is the formula for slope-intercept form?

• y = mx + c

• y = mx + b

• y = cx + m

• y = bx + m

In the formula y = mx + b, what does 'm' represent?

• Constant

• X-intercept

• Y-intercept

• Slope

How is slope defined in terms of rise and run?

• Run over rise

• Change in x over change in y

• Change in y over change in x

• Rise over run

What is the y-intercept in the equation y = 2x - 4?

• -4

• 0

• 4

• 2

If the slope of a line is negative, how does the line appear on a graph?

• It is horizontal

• It goes uphill from left to right

• It goes downhill from left to right

• It is vertical

What does it mean if an equation is in the form x = 4?

• The y-intercept is 4

• The slope is zero

• The line is vertical

• The line is horizontal

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

• Undefined

• Negative

• Zero

• Positive

How do you convert the equation 6x - 8 = 2y to slope-intercept form?

• y = -3x + 4

• y = 3x + 4

• y = 3x - 4

• y = 4x - 3

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation y = 4/3x - 3?

• 4/3

• -3

• 0

• 3

In the game 'Algebra vs. the Cockroach', what does the equation y = -2 represent?

• A horizontal line

• A line with a positive slope

• A vertical line

• A line with an undefined slope
