Graphing Linear Equations in Slope Intercept Form

What is the formula for slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

• y = m/b + x

• y = b/m + x

• y = bx + m

• y = mx + b

What does the 'm' in the slope-intercept equation represent?

• Slope

• X-intercept

• Coefficient of y

• Y-intercept

If the slope is negative, in which direction does the line slope?

• Downwards from right to left

• Upwards from right to left

• Downwards from left to right

• Upwards from left to right

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

• At the origin

• None of the above

• Along the y-axis

• Along the x-axis

What should you do if the graphing points exceed the coordinate plane?

• Ignore the excess

• Stop plotting further points

• Plot opposite points

• Estimate the location

How do you convert a standard form equation to slope-intercept form?

• Multiply each term by the coefficient of y

• None of the above

• Isolate x on one side

• Isolate y on one side

What does a negative slope indicate about the direction of the line?

• It falls from left to right

• It is vertical

• It rises from left to right

• It is horizontal
