Writing Equations in Slope-Intercept Form

What is the first step in writing an equation in slope-intercept form given a point and a slope?

• Solve for the y-intercept

• Substitute the slope and point into the equation

• Graph the equation

• Rewrite the equation

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

• The slope

• The x-coordinate

• The y-intercept

• The y-coordinate

Given the point (-8, 5) and the slope 3/4, what value is substituted for x?

• 3/4

• -8

• 5

• 11

What is the result of multiplying 3/4 by -8?

• -6

• 6

• 24

• -24

How do you isolate B in the equation after simplifying?

• Multiply both sides by 4

• Add 6 to both sides

• Subtract 6 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 3

What is the value of B after solving the equation?

• 11

• -11

• -6

• 6

What is the final slope-intercept form of the equation given the slope 3/4 and y-intercept 11?

• y = 4/3x - 11

• y = 4/3x + 11

• y = 3/4x + 11

• y = 3/4x - 11

What does the y-intercept represent in the slope-intercept equation?

• The point where the line crosses the x-axis

• The steepness of the line

• The slope of the line

• The point where the line crosses the y-axis
