What part of the graph shows how steep the line is?
The slope
The graph can be a curved line.
False
Find the Slope for: y=2x+6
m=2
The What is the name of the vertical line and Horizontal line on the graph?
X-axis
Y-axis
The slope of a line can never be zero.
False
Find the X intercept for: 3x-y=9
X intercept= (3,0)
What part of the graph shows where the line crosses the x-axis?
The X intercept
The x-intercept of a linear equation is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis.
True
Find the Y intercept for: 4x+2y=8
Y intercept=(0,4)
What do we call the point where the line crosses the y-axis?
The Y intercept
When finding intercept you solve for the opposite letter (set y: solve for x)
True
