Graphing Solutions for y= in 2-3 Steps

Why is it useful to solve for y when dealing with equations involving x and y?

• It simplifies the equation.

• It helps in graphing the equation in slope-intercept form.

• It eliminates the need for x.

• It makes the equation more complex.

Which form of linear equation is represented by y = mx + b?

• Slope-intercept form

• Quadratic form

• Point-slope form

• Standard form

In standard form, where are the variables x and y located?

• Only y is present

• On opposite sides of the equation

• Only x is present

• On the same side of the equation

What is the first step in converting a standard form equation to slope-intercept form?

• Divide by the coefficient of y

• Add or subtract the x term

• Multiply by the coefficient of x

• Combine like terms

When converting standard form to slope-intercept form, what should you do after moving the x term?

• Add the constant term

• Divide by the coefficient of y

• Multiply by the coefficient of y

• Subtract the constant term

In point-slope form, what is the first step to isolate y?

• Combine like terms

• Subtract the y term

• Distribute the slope

• Add the x term

What is the slope in the equation y = 3x - 5?

• 1/3

• -3

• 3

• -5

How do you graph the y-intercept in slope-intercept form?

• Plot the x-intercept first

• Plot the y-intercept on the y-axis

• Plot the y-intercept on the x-axis

• Plot the slope first

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -2x + 4?

• -2

• 4
