100

The steepness of a line that can be found using rise over run.

What is slope?

100
If the slope is increased, what happens to the line?
It is getting steeper.
100

What is the y-intercept of y = 3x+2, written as a point?

(0,2)

Why is slope intercept form better than standard form? y=mx+b instead of something like 5x-2y=9

You can pick out the slope and y-intercept right away.

What is the x-intercept?
300
Of the following, which has the steepest slope? y = 6x+9 y = 3x+20 y = -4x+8 y = -1x-9
y = 6x+9

500
What kind of line has a slope of zero?
A horizontal line.
500

When given a table, how can you find the y-intercept?

Look at where x is zero.

500

Convert the following into slope-intercept form: 3x-3y=9

y = x-3
