• slope

• y-intercept

• beautiful Ms. Haver

Answer explanation

In the equation y=mx+b, the term b represents the y-intercept. This is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, indicating the value of y when x is zero. Therefore, the correct answer is y-intercept.

Idenitify the Slope and Y intercept

y = -1/2x + 3

Slope​ ​ ​ (a)  

Y intercept ​ (b)  

• -1/2

• 3

• -1

• -2

• -3

• 1/2

Answer explanation

In the equation y = -1/2x + 3, the slope is the coefficient of x, which is -1/2. The y-intercept is the constant term, which is 3. Therefore, the slope is -1/2 and the y-intercept is 3.

Identify the Slope and Y intercept

y = -2x + 6

Slope​ ​ ​ (a)  

Y intercept ​ (b)  

• 6

• 2

• -2

• -3

• -6

• -2/6

Answer explanation

In the equation y = -2x + 6, the slope is the coefficient of x, which is -2. The y-intercept is the constant term, which is 6. Therefore, the slope is -2 and the y-intercept is 6.

Identify the Slope and Y intercept

y = 4x

Slope​ ​ ​ (a)  

Y intercept ​ (b)  

• 0

• 1

• 4

• -4

• none

• x

Answer explanation

In the equation y = 4x, the slope is the coefficient of x, which is 4. The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0, which is 0. Therefore, the slope is 4 and the y-intercept is 0.

Identify the Slope and Y intercept

y = 3 + 2x

Slope​ ​ ​ (a)  

Y intercept ​ (b)  

• 3

• -2

• 2

• -3

Answer explanation

In the equation y = 3 + 2x, the slope is the coefficient of x, which is 2. The y-intercept is the constant term, which is 3. Therefore, the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is 3.

Identify the Slope and Y intercept

y = -4 - x

Slope​ ​ ​ (a)  

Y intercept ​ (b)  

• -4

• 0

• 1

• -1

• x

• -x

• 4

Answer explanation

In the equation y = -4 - x, rewrite it as y = -x - 4. The slope is -1 (coefficient of x) and the y-intercept is -4 (constant term). Thus, the slope is -1 and the y-intercept is -4.

What is the slope of the line?

Answer explanation

The slope of a line is calculated as the change in y over the change in x. A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line, meaning there is no change in y as x changes. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.

TEKS.MATH.8.4B

What is the y-intercept of the line?

Answer explanation

The y-intercept of a line is the point where it crosses the y-axis. In this case, the correct answer is 0, indicating that the line intersects the y-axis at the origin (0,0). Therefore, the y-intercept is 0.
