How do you identify the y-intercept from a graph?

• Look for the highest point on the graph

• Find where the line crosses the y-axis

• Find where the line crosses the x-axis

• Calculate the slope first

If a line crosses the y-axis at 3 and has a slope of 3/2, what is the equation?

• y = 3/2x + 3

• y = 2/3x + 3

• y = 2x + 3/2

• y = 3x + 2

What is the slope formula when given two points?

• (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

• (x2 - x1) / (y2 - y1)

• (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

• (x1 - x2) / (y1 - y2)
