Slope Intercept Form

Which of the following represents slope-intercept form?

• y=mx+b

• Ax+By=C

In slope-intercept form, m represents ____________ and tells us how steep a line is.

Answer explanation

m is slope! Slope tells us how steep a line is. We calculate slope b putting rise over run.

• The slope of the line is -3.

• The slope of the line is 1.

• The line passes through the y-axis at (1, 0)

• The line passes through the y-axis at (0, 1)

• The line is horizontal.

Answer explanation

This line would have a slope of -3 and a y-intercept at (0, 1).

What is the equation of this line?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.
