Linear Parameter Changes Quiz

What does the slope (M) of a line indicate?

• The width of the line

• The steepness and direction of the line

• The length of the line

• The color of the line

If a slope is negative, what happens to the line?

• It disappears

• It becomes horizontal

• It becomes vertical

• It reflects or changes direction

What happens to a line if the slope is greater than one?

• The line shifts up

• The line becomes more steep

• The line becomes less steep

• The line shifts down

How does a positive Y-intercept (B) affect a line?

• It changes the line's color

• It makes the line disappear

• It shifts the line up

• It shifts the line down

What is the parent function of a linear equation?

• y = 0

• y = x + 1

• y = 2x

• y = x

In the example, what is the effect of changing the slope from 1 to 1/3?

• The line becomes more steep

• The line shifts up

• The line becomes less steep

• The line shifts down

What is the effect of a negative Y-intercept on a line?

• The line becomes more steep

• The line becomes less steep

• The line shifts up

• The line shifts down

In the example, what is the change in steepness when the slope changes from 1/2 to 3?

• The line becomes less steep

• The line becomes more steep

• The line shifts up

• The line shifts down

How many units does the line shift when the Y-intercept changes from 2 to -1?

• 1 unit

• 4 units

• 2 units

• 3 units

What should you pay attention to when determining the shift in Y-intercept?

• The width of the line

• The length of the line

• The signs of the Y-intercepts

• The color of the line
