True or False:

Slope equals "run over rise."

False!

Slope equals "rise over run."

200

Which axis is the vertical axis, the x-axis or the y-axis?

y-axis

200

True or False:

For linear relationships, when you look at the data in a table of values, the y-values must be increasing by the same number for each change of +1 in the x-values.

False!

The y-values could be decreasing by the same number for each change of +1 in the x-values.

If the slope of a line is +2 and the line crosses the y-axis below the x-axis, then where will it cross the x-axis:  on the negative side of the x-axis or on the positive side of the x-axis?

On the positive side of the x-axis

400

True or False:

the right side of the x-axis and the bottom of the y-axis include all the positive numbers.

False

The bottom of the y-axis does not contain positive numbers.

Line A has a slope of 2.

Line B has a slope of -3.

Which line has a steeper slope? Line A or Line B?

Line B.

A slope of -3 is more steep than a slope of 2.
