A line has slope 22 and passes through (3,4).(3, 4)\textsf{.} Which equation represents this line in point-slope form?

Point-slope form is y−y1=m(x−x1).y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})\textsf{.} The slope is m=2m = 2 and the point is (3,4),(3, 4)\textsf{,} so the equation is y−4=2(x−3).y - 4 = 2(x - 3)\textsf{.}

In y=3x+1y = 3x + 1, what is the slope?

In slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b, the coefficient of xx is the slope. Here m=3m = 3.

In y=−2x+7y = -2x + 7, what is the yy-intercept?

In slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b, the constant term bb is the yy-intercept. Here b=7b = 7.

When 4x+2y=104x + 2y = 10 is rewritten as y=mx+by = mx + b, what is the slope mm?

Solve for yy: 2y=−4x+102y = -4x + 10, so y=−2x+5y = -2x + 5 and m=−2m = -2.

A line has slope 33 and yy-intercept 5.5\textsf{.} Which equation represents this line in slope-intercept form?

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b.y = mx + b\textsf{.} The slope is m=3m = 3 and the yy-intercept is b=5,b = 5\textsf{,} so the equation is y=3x+5.y = 3x + 5\textsf{.}

Mid-gameeasy

A line with slope 33 passes through (1,5)(1, 5). What is bb in y=3x+by = 3x + b?

Substitute the point: 5=3(1)+b5 = 3(1) + b, so b=5−3=2b = 5 - 3 = 2.

Mid-gameeasy

Which equation is equivalent to y=2x+5y = 2x + 5 in standard form?

Subtract yy and 55 from both sides of y=2x+5y = 2x + 5 to get −5=2x−y-5 = 2x - y, or 2x−y=−5.2x - y = -5\textsf{.}

Buzzer beatereasy

What is the xx-intercept of the line 2x+3y=122x + 3y = 12?

Set y=0y = 0: 2x=122x = 12, so x=6x = 6.
