Which equation represents a line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 3?
y = 2 + 3x
y = 2x + 3
y = 3x + 2
y = 2x - 3
In slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, the slope m is 2 and the y-intercept b is 3. Thus, the correct equation is y = 2x + 3.
A graph shows a line crossing the y-axis at (0, 4). What is the y-intercept of the equation representing the line?
4
-4
None of the above
0
The y-intercept occurs where the line crosses the y-axis, which at point (0, 4) means the y-intercept is 4. This directly corresponds to the constant term in the equation.
In the slope-intercept equation y = mx + b, what does the 'm' represent?
y-intercept
constant term
slope
x-intercept
In the formula y = mx + b, 'm' denotes the slope of the line, which measures the rate of change. The term 'b' is the y-intercept.
A line on a graph shows a steep upward trend. Which option best describes its slope?
Zero
Positive and steep
Negative and steep
Negative and small
A steep upward trend indicates a large positive rate of change, meaning the slope is positive and steep. This reflects a significant increase in y for a given change in x.
Which equation in slope-intercept form has a y-intercept of -2?
y = -3x + 2
y = -2x + 3
y = 3x - 2
y = 2x + 2
In the equation y = mx + b, the y-intercept is given directly by b. Therefore, an equation with b = -2, such as y = 3x - 2, correctly represents the line.
A line passes through the points (1, 3) and (4, 15). What is the slope of the line?
4
3
8
12
The slope is calculated using the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Substituting the points gives (15 - 3) / (4 - 1) = 12/3, which simplifies to 4.
Which equation represents a line that passes through (0, -1) with a slope of 5?
y = -5x - 1
y = 5x - 1
y = x - 5
y = 5x + 1
Using the slope-intercept form y = mx + b, a slope of 5 with a y-intercept of -1 gives the equation y = 5x - 1. The point (0, -1) confirms the y-intercept.
Find the x-intercept of the line given by the equation y = 2x - 8.
-8
-4
4
8
The x-intercept is found by setting y to 0. Solving 0 = 2x - 8 yields 2x = 8, so x = 4. This is the point where the line meets the x-axis.
A line passes through the points (2, b) and (5, 11) and has a slope of 2. What is the value of b?
8
7
5
6
Use the slope formula: (11 - b) / (5 - 2) = 2. This becomes (11 - b) / 3 = 2, so 11 - b = 6 and b = 5. The correct value of b is determined by solving this equation.
Determine the equation of a line that has a slope of -3 and passes through the point (2, 4).
y = -3x + 10
y = 3x - 10
y = 3x + 10
y = -3x - 10
Using the point-slope form, y - 4 = -3(x - 2) leads to y = -3x + 6 + 4, which simplifies to y = -3x + 10. This is the correct way to express the line's equation.
A graph shows a line crossing the x-axis at 7 and the y-axis at -3. What is the equation in slope-intercept form?
y = (3/7)x - 3
y = -(3/7)x - 3
y = (7/3)x - 3
y = (3/7)x + 3
The slope is calculated as (0 - (-3))/(7 - 0) = 3/7 and the y-intercept is -3. Therefore, the equation is y = (3/7)x - 3 in slope-intercept form.
Convert the equation 4y = 8x + 12 into slope-intercept form.
y = 8x + 12
y = 2x + 3
y = 2x - 3
y = 4x + 12
Dividing both sides of the equation 4y = 8x + 12 by 4 yields y = 2x + 3. This form clearly displays the slope and the y-intercept.
The graph of a line is horizontal. Which equation correctly represents a horizontal line that passes through y = 5?
x = 5
x = 0
y = 5
y = 0
A horizontal line always has a constant y-value. Therefore, the line passing through y = 5 is represented by the equation y = 5.
If a line has a slope of 0, what does its graph look like?
It is vertical
It has an undefined y-intercept
It is horizontal
It has a 45-degree angle
A slope of 0 indicates that there is no change in y as x changes. This results in a horizontal line, where all points have the same y-value.
Given the points (3, 7) and (6, 13), what is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?
y = 2x + 1
y = 2x - 1
y = 2x + 3
y = 3x + 1
The slope calculated from the points is (13 - 7) / (6 - 3) = 2. Using point (3, 7) in the slope-intercept form y = 2x + b and solving for b gives b = 1, resulting in y = 2x + 1.
The line represented by y = mx + c passes through (4, 9) and (8, 21). Determine the values of m and c.
m = 3, c = -3
m = 3, c = 3
m = -3, c = -3
m = -3, c = 3
Calculating the slope gives (21 - 9) / (8 - 4) = 12 / 4 = 3. Substituting one of the points into y = 3x + c, for example 9 = 3(4) + c, yields c = 9 - 12 = -3.
A line has a slope of 7 and passes through ( - 2, 1). What is the equation of the line?
y = 7x - 15
y = 7x + 7
y = 7x - 7
y = 7x + 15
Using the point-slope form, y - 1 = 7(x + 2) leads to y = 7x + 14 + 1, simplifying to y = 7x + 15. This correctly incorporates both the slope and the given point.
The equation 5x - 2y = 10 is given. What is the slope of the line and what does it suggest about the line's steepness?
Slope is -5/2, indicating a moderately steep downward incline.
Slope is 5/2, indicating a moderately steep upward incline.
Slope is -2/5, indicating a shallow decline.
Slope is 2/5, indicating a shallow incline.
By rewriting the equation in slope-intercept form, we get y = (5/2)x - 5. The slope is 5/2, which reflects a moderately steep upward-leaning line.
Determine the equation of the line perpendicular to y = -2x + 6 that passes through (1, 4).
y = -(1/2)x + (7/2)
y = (1/2)x + (7/2)
y = -(1/2)x - (7/2)
y = (1/2)x - (7/2)
The slope of the given line is -2, so the perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal, which is 1/2. Using the point-slope form with (1, 4) yields y = (1/2)x + (7/2).
If the equation of a line is y = (3/4)x - 2 and its graph is shifted upward by 5 units, what is the new equation?
y = (3/4)x + 3
y = (3/4)x - 7
y = (3/4)x - 3
y = (3/4)x + 7
Shifting the graph upward by 5 units increases the y-intercept by 5. Since the original y-intercept is -2, the new y-intercept becomes -2 + 5 = 3, resulting in y = (3/4)x + 3.
