300

Name three ways to describe slope.

Possible answers:

rate of change

rise over run

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

slope = m in y = mx + b

Graph the following equation. Include at least 3 points. y = 1/3x + 4
Graph should start with the point at (0, 4) Movement should be 1 up and 3 to the right continuing to another point. Movement could also be 1 down and 3 to the left.

Rewrite this equation in slope-intercept form. x + y = -12
y = -x - 12
300

What is the slope of this equation?

 x = 5

Undefined Slope

Evaluate the expression:

4 + 5 x 3 - 2

4 + 5 x 3 - 2

= 4 + 15 - 2

= 19 - 2

= 17

Find the slope of the line that includes the following points. (4, -5) (-4, 5)
-10/8 which simplifies to -5/4
400
Graph the following equation. Include at least three points. y = -2
Graph should begin with a point on the y-axis at -2. A horizontal line should be drawn through -2 extending on both sides of the y-axis.
400
Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form. 3x + 6y = -18
y = -1/2x - 3
400

Graph the following equation. 8x + 4y = 16

Write an equation for a vertical line through the point (-3, 3)

x = -3

500
Find the slope of the line that includes the following points. (-12, -9) (-3, -3)
-6/-9 = 6/9 = 2/3
500
Make a table of values with at least 4 ordered pairs for the following equation. y = 1/2x -5 Then plot the ordered pairs. Draw a line through the points.
Table should list four numbers chosen for x and then solved by multiplying by 1/2 and subtracting 5. If x is 2 then If x is 4 then 1/2(2) = 1 - 5 1/2(4) = 2 - 5 then y = -4 then y = -3
500
Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form. 3.5x - 7y = -21
-7y = -3.5x + 21 y = 0.5x - 3 or y = 1/2x - 3
500

Is x = 2 a solution to the equation 2(x - 5) + 3 = 13  ?

No it is not a solution.

Evaluate this expression:

3 + [6 (11 + 1 - 4] / 8 x 2

3 + [6 (11 + 1 - 4] / 8 x 2

= 3 + [6(8)] / 8 x 2

= 3 + 48 / 8 x 2

= 3 + 6 x 2

= 3 + 12

= 15
