Slope Basics
The slope is often represented by this letter in the equation y = mx + b.
What is m?
The y-intercept is where the line crosses this axis.
What is the y-axis?
The first step in graphing y = 2x + 3 is to plot this intercept.
What is the y-intercept?
The form of a line's equation written as y = mx + b.
What is the slope-intercept form?
The first step in solving 2x + 4 = 12.
What is subtract 4 from both sides?
The slope of a horizontal line.
What is 0?
If a line crosses the y-axis at (0, 5), this is the y-intercept.
What is 5?
To graph y = -x + 1, you start at (0, 1) and move down and right by these increments.
What are 1 unit down and 1 unit right?
The form of a line's equation written as Ax + By = C.
What is the standard form?
Solve for y in the equation 2y + 6 = 18.
What is 6?
If a line ascends from left to right, the slope is said to be this.
What is positive?
Identify the y-intercept in the equation y = 4x + 8.
What is 8?
The direction of the line when the slope is negative.
What is downwards from left to right?
The form of a line's equation used when given a point and a slope.
What is the point-slope form?
If 5x + 3 = 2x + 12, then x equals this.
What is 3?
The slope of a vertical line.
What is undefined?
Find the y-intercept of the equation 3x + 4y = 12.
What is 3?
Determine the slope of a line passing through points (3, 7) and (6, 15).
What is 8/3?
Given the equation y - 4x = -7, convert this into slope-intercept form.
What is y = 4x - 7?
Solve for x in the equation 3(x + 1) = 2(x + 6).
What is x = 9?
Calculate the slope given points (2, 3) and (4, 7).
What is 2?
Find the x-intercept of the line y = 3x - 9 when y equals 0.
What is 3?
Identify the slope and y-intercept of the line 5x - 3y = 9.
What is the slope is 5/3 and the y-intercept is -3?
Convert the equation y - 2 = 3(x + 4) to slope-intercept form.
What is y = 3x + 14?
Solve the equation 4(x - 1) = 2x + 6 for x.
What is x = 4?
