Rewriting a linear equation in standard form to slope intercept form to identify slope

The video tutorial explains how to convert an equation from standard form to slope-intercept form by isolating the Y variable. It discusses the concept of negative slope and its placement in fractions. The tutorial then demonstrates how to graph the equation using the slope and Y-intercept, providing step-by-step instructions on plotting points and drawing the line on a coordinate plane.

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

• Add 3X to both sides

• Subtract 3X from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 4

• Divide both sides by 3

How do you handle the negative sign in a fraction when identifying the slope?

• Ignore the negative sign

• It can be placed in either the numerator or the denominator

• Always place it in the denominator

• Always place it in the numerator

What is the Y-intercept of the equation y = -3/4x + 1?

• (1, 0)

• (0, 1)

• (0, 0)

• (1, 1)

When graphing, from which point should you start following the slope?

• From the origin

• From any point on the X-axis

• From any random point

• From the Y-intercept

If the slope is -3/4, how do you move on the graph to plot the next point?

• Down 3, right 4

• Up 4, right 3

• Up 3, right 4

• Down 4, right 3
