Which form is used when Y is isolated on the left side?

• None of the above

• Slope-intercept form

• Point-slope form

• Standard form

How can you identify the slope in the slope-intercept form?

• It's the 'x' value

What is the y-intercept in a graph?

• Where X equals 0

• Where the line crosses the X-axis

• Where the line crosses the Y-axis

• Where Y equals 0

If a linear equation is not in slope-intercept form, what must you do before identifying the slope?

• None of the above

• Multiply both sides by the coefficient of Y

• Subtract the Y variable

• Isolate Y on the left side

How do you find the y-intercept from a table of coordinate values?

• Look for when X equals 1

• Look for when Y equals 1

• Look for when Y equals 0

• Look for when X equals 0

What does the x-intercept represent?

• The y-intercept of the line

• The slope of the line

• The value of X when Y equals 0

• The value of Y when X equals 0

How do you calculate the x-intercept of a line?

• Add the y-intercept to both sides

• Set Y to 0 and solve for X

• Set X to 0 and solve for Y

• Multiply both sides by the slope
