Find the equation of a line through a point when given the slope and point

What is the first step in finding the equation of a line when given a point and a slope?

• Determine the slope

• Identify the Y-intercept

• Find the X-intercept

• Plot the point on a graph

In the slope-intercept form of a line, what does the 'M' represent?

• The Y-intercept

• The slope

• The X-coordinate

• The constant term

What is the equation of a line in slope-intercept form?

• Y = MX + B

• Y = M + BX

• Y = B + MX

• Y = X + MB

How can you find the Y-intercept algebraically when given a point and a slope?

• By substituting the point into the equation

• By setting X to zero

• By using the midpoint formula

• By graphing the line

After finding the Y-intercept, what is the final step in writing the equation of a line?

• Check the graph for accuracy

• Substitute the Y-intercept into the equation

• Verify the X-intercept

• Recalculate the slope
