If the slope of a line is constant, what type of function is it?

• Nonlinear

• Quadratic

• Linear

How do you calculate the slope of a line?

• Divide the change in Y by the change in X

• Multiply the change in Y by the change in X

• Divide the change in X by the change in Y

• Subtract the change in X from the change in Y

If a line has a slope of 1/3 and passes through the point (0, 2), what is its equation?

• Y = 2X - 1/3

• Y = 2X + 1/3
