Graphing linear equations in standard form

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

• Switch the x and y variables

• Add or subtract terms to isolate y

• Divide by the coefficient of y

• Multiply both sides by the coefficient of x

When converting to slope-intercept form, what operation is performed after isolating y?

• Multiply by the coefficient of x

• Add a constant to both sides

• Divide by the coefficient of y

• Subtract x from both sides

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

• The constant term

• The slope

• The y-intercept

• The x-intercept

How do you determine the next point on the graph after plotting the y-intercept?

• Move according to the slope's rise over run

• Move left by the x-intercept value

• Move down by the slope value

• Move up by the y-intercept value

What is the significance of the y-intercept in graphing an equation?

• It is the point where the line crosses the y-axis

• It indicates the x-intercept

• It determines the slope of the line

• It is the highest point on the graph
