Graphing Equations in Slope-Intercept Form

What is the general form of the slope-intercept equation?

• y = x + b

• y = ax^2 + bx + c

• y = mx - b

• y = mx + b

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

• The slope

• The y-intercept

• The x-intercept

• The constant term

What is the first step in graphing an equation in slope-intercept form?

• Graph the y-intercept on the y-axis

• Identify the y-intercept

• Identify the slope

• Use the slope to graph additional points

If the slope is -1/3, how do you plot the next point from the y-intercept?

• Down 1, left 3

• Up 1, left 3

• Down 1, right 3

How should you write the slope if it is given as an integer?

• As a percentage

• As a decimal

• As a whole number

• As a fraction

For the slope -2, which of the following is a correct representation?

• Neither A nor B

• Both A and B

• 2/-1

• -2/1

What is the y-intercept in the equation y = 4x - 1?

• 0

• -1
