Graphing Lines Using the Slope-Intercept Method

John Zimmerman from tabletclass.com explains how to graph lines in the y=mx+b format. He covers plotting the Y-intercept and using the slope to find a second point on the graph. The video also touches on handling negative slopes and concludes with information on additional resources and a free trial offer.

What does the 'm' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

• The x-intercept

• The slope

• The y-intercept

• The constant term

In the equation y = mx + b, what does the 'b' represent?

• The x-intercept

• The y-intercept

• The slope

• The coefficient of x

Where do you plot the y-intercept on a graph?

• On the y-axis

• At any random point

• On the x-axis

• At the origin

If the y-intercept is 5, where will the line cross the y-axis?

• (5, 0)

• (0, 5)

• (0, -5)

• (-5, 0)

What does the slope of 2/3 indicate about the rise and run of the line?

• Rise 2, Run 2

• Rise 3, Run 3

• Rise 3, Run 2

• Rise 2, Run 3

How do you find a second point using the slope 2/3 from the y-intercept (0, 5)?

• Go up 2 and left 3

• Go down 2 and right 3

• Go up 2 and right 3

• Go down 2 and left 3

What is the next step after plotting the y-intercept and a second point using the slope?

• Plot another point

• Change the slope

• Draw a line through the points

• Erase the points

How do you plot a point if the slope is -2/3?

• Go up 2 and left 3

• Go down 2 and left 3

• Go down 2 and right 3

• Go up 2 and right 3

What is the difference in plotting a positive slope versus a negative slope?

• Positive slope goes up and left, negative slope goes down and right

• Positive slope goes up and right, negative slope goes down and right

• Positive slope goes down and left, negative slope goes up and right

• Positive slope goes down and right, negative slope goes up and left
