Graphing with Slope-Intercept Form

What method are we using to graph linear functions in this tutorial?

• Using the slope and y-intercept

• Using the midpoint formula

• Using a table

• Using the quadratic formula

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

• The constant term

• The slope

• The x-intercept

• The y-intercept

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

• Identifying the slope and y-intercept

• Plotting the x-intercept

• Finding the midpoint

• Drawing the line

If the slope of a line is 2/3, what does this mean in terms of rise and run?

• Rise 2, Run 1

• Rise 3, Run 2

• Rise 2, Run 3

• Rise 1, Run 2

When graphing a line, what do you do after plotting the y-intercept?

• Label the axes

• Find the x-intercept

• Count off the slope and make a point

• Draw the line

How do you handle a negative slope when graphing a line?

• Go up and to the left

• Go down and to the left

• Go down and to the right

• Go up and to the right

What should you do if your graph does not form a straight line?

• Start over

• Adjust the y-intercept

• Change the slope

• Check your calculations

In the example y = -1/4x + 5, what is the y-intercept?

• -1/4

• 5

• 4

• 1

What is the slope of the line in the equation y = 3/2x?

• 3/2

• 2

• 3

• 0

What is the y-intercept of the line in the equation y = 2/3x + 2?

• 2/3

• 2

• 3

• 0
