Slope Intercept Form Basics

Write the equation of the line with slope -2 and y-intercept 8.

(Do not use spaces.)

Write the equation of the line with slope 3/8 and y-intercept -6.

(Do not use spaces.)

Identify the y-intercept of the line.

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form. (Do not use spaces.)

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form. (Do not use spaces.)

Identify the slope of the line.

Given the slope is -2 and the y-intercept is 3 the slope-intercept form would be:

• y = -2x + 3

• y = 3x - 2

What is the equation of this line?

• y = x - 2 because the slope is 1 and the y-intercept is -2.

• y = 2x -2 because the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is -2.

• y = -x + 2 because the slope is -1 and the y-intercept is 2.

• y = -2x + 2 because the slope is -2 and the y-intercept is 2.

Given the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is -2 the slope-intercept form would be:

• y = -2x + 3

• y = 3x - 2

Given the m is -2 and the b is 3 the slope-intercept form would be:

• y = -2x + 3

• y = 3x - 2
