Graphing Linear Equations: Slope and Y-Intercept

What is the main goal of the video?

• To understand the properties of circles

• To learn about polynomial functions

• To graph a line by finding its slope and y-intercept

• To solve quadratic equations

What form is the equation converted to for easier graphing?

• Vertex form

• Slope-intercept form

• Factored form

• Standard form

What is the first step in isolating the y variable?

• Multiplying both sides by 2

• Adding the x term to the right-hand side

• Subtracting the x term from both sides

• Dividing both sides by 2

After adding 8x to the right-hand side, what does the equation become?

• 2y = 8x + 2

• 2y = 8x - 2

• y = 8x + 2

• y = 4x + 1

What is the final simplified form of the equation?

• y = 8x + 1

• y = 2x + 1

• y = 4x + 2

• y = 4x + 1

What is the slope (m) of the line in the simplified equation?

• 1

• 8

• 2

• 4

What is the y-intercept (b) of the line in the simplified equation?

• 4

• 2

• 1

• 0

Where do you start graphing the line on the coordinate plane?

• (1, 1)

• (0, 1)

• (1, 0)

• (0, 0)

How do you use the slope to find a second point on the graph?

• Go up 1 and over 1

• Go down 4 and over 1

• Go up 4 and over 1

• Go up 1 and over 4
