Graphing Slope Intercept Form Explain Steps

When graphing, what do you do after you graph your y-intercept?

• Find slope and start with your run(left or right) then to rise (up or down)

• Find slope and start with your rise (up or down) then to run (left or right)

• Draw a vertical line

• Draw a horizontal line

Which could be the graph of the equation y = 1/3x - 2?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Which graph best represents the equation y = -3x + 4?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Which is the graph of y= -x + 2?

• A

• B

• C

• D

Which of these represents slope-intercept form?

• y - y₁ = m(x-x₁)

• Ax + By = C

• y = mx + b

What is Slope-Intercept Form of linear equations?

• Ax+By=C

• y=mx+b

• y-y1=m(x-x1)

• m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

What does the "m" stand for in the Slope-Intercept form?

• y-intercept

• x-intercept

• slope

• nothing

Graph the function

f(x)=3x+5

(remember slope intercept form f(x)=ax+b where a is slope, b is y-intercept) Start by plotting the y-intercept, then count the slope to the next point

Answer explanation

In slope-intercept form y = mx + b, which value represents the starting or initial value?

• y

• m

• x

• b

Graph the function

f(x)=3x-5

(remember slope intercept form f(x)=ax+b where a is slope, b is y-intercept) Start by plotting the y-intercept, then count the slope to the next point
