How to Graph a Line

What is the name of this graph?

• line plot

• line graph

• bar graph

• frequency table

What is the main purpose of a line graph?

• to compare two things

• to show trends over time

• to have an independent variable

• so you don't have to read words

Write the equation of the graph.

• y = 3/2x + 1

• y = -3/2x + 1

• y = 2/3x + 1

• y = -2/3x + 1

• y = 2x + 5
• y = -2x - 5
• y = -2x + 5
• y = 5x - 2

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

• A

• B

• C

• D

What does the "b" stand for in y=mx+b?

• slope

• x-intercept

• y-intercept

Write the equation of the graph

• y = 3x + 2

• y = -3x + 2

• y = 1/3x + 2

• y = -1/3x + 2

Write the equation that best matches the graph shown.

• y = 4x

• y = 4x - 3

• y = 4/3 x + 4

• y = 4/3 x - 3

What kind of graph shows change over time?
