more steep, going downward

a)

almost flat, but still going upward

b)

more steep, going upward

c)

going downward as you move left to right

d)

completely vertical or completely horizontal

m

b)

b

c)

15.

Which of the following is slope-intercept form?

a)

y = bx + m

b)

y = mx + b

c)

y = m + x + b

d)

y + m + x = b

16.

Why is the table linear or why not?

a)

linear because it decreases by 10 each time

b)

nonlinear because it goes from 9 to 14 to 19

c)

nonlinear because 14 - 9 = 5, and 19 - 14 = 5, and they match

d)

linear because it changes by a different number each time
