Graphing Linear Equations: From Standard to Slope-Intercept Form

What was the main focus of the previous class period?

• Graphing using table of values

• Graphing using slope-intercept form

• Graphing parabolas

• Solving quadratic equations

In the slope-intercept form y = mx + b, what does 'b' represent?

• The x-intercept

• The slope

• The origin

• The y-intercept

What is the slope in the equation y = 3/4x - 6?

• 3

• -6

• 4

• 3/4

What form is the equation 3x - 4y = 24 in?

• Exponential form

• Slope-intercept form

• Quadratic form

• Standard form

What is the first step in converting a standard form equation to slope-intercept form?

• Divide both sides by the x-term

• Add the x-term to both sides

• Subtract the x-term from both sides

• Multiply both sides by the y-term

After subtracting 3x from both sides of the equation -4y = -3x + 24, what is the next step?

• Add 3x to both sides

• Subtract 24 from both sides

• Divide both sides by -4

• Multiply both sides by -4

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = 3/4x - 6?

• -6

• 3/4

• 24

• 3

When graphing the equation y = 3/4x - 6, where do you plot the y-intercept?

• At (3, 0)

• At (0, 3)

• At (-6, 0)

• At (0, -6)

How do you use the slope to find the next point after plotting the y-intercept?

• Go up 3 units and over 4 units

• Go down 3 units and over 4 units

• Go up 4 units and over 3 units

• Go down 4 units and over 3 units

What is the final step in graphing the equation y = 3/4x - 6?

• Plot the x-intercept

• Find the slope

• Rewrite the equation

• Connect the points with a line
