How to graph a linear equation in slope intercept form, y = (2/3)x - 4

What is the first step in graphing an equation in slope-intercept form?

• Identify the x-intercept

• Draw the line first

• Identify the slope and y-intercept

• Plot random points

How should the slope be expressed when graphing?

• As a fraction

• As a whole number

• As a decimal

• As a percentage

When plotting the y-intercept, what is the x-coordinate always?

• It varies

• 1

• 0

• -1

What does the slope represent in terms of graph movement?

• The change in x over the change in y

• The change in y over the change in x

• The total distance covered

• The angle of the line

What should be added to the line to indicate it extends indefinitely?

• Dots

• Arrows

• Numbers

• Labels
