MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

y = m(x - x1) + y1

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y = m(x2 - x1) + b

y = mx + b

In the slope-intercept form, what does the constant 'b' represent?

The y-coordinate where the line crosses the y-axis

The x-coordinate of a point on the line

The slope of the line

The x-intercept of the line

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

y = mx + b

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y = m(x - x2) + y2

y = m(x2 - x1) + b

What information is needed to use the two-point form of a linear equation?

Two distinct points on the line

The slope and y-intercept

The x-intercept and y-intercept

The slope and a point on the line

How is the slope calculated in the two-point form?

Using the formula m = (x1 - x2) / (y1 - y2)

Using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Using the formula m = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

Using the formula m = (x2 - x1) / (y2 - y1)
