1.

What is an equation of the line with slope 6 and y-intercept -4?

F.LE.2
2.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3, 4) and (2, -1)?

Recall the slope formula: Slope = \frac{rise}{run}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

F.LE.2
3.

What equation in slope-intercept form represents the line that passes through the points (-3, 4) and (2, -1)?

F.LE.2
4.

What is the graph of y = 5x + 2?

Be sure to include relevant graph detail: label axes, indicate units on both axes, and use arrows to represent end behavior, as appropriate.

5.

Graphing: Graph y = 5. Zoom and pan your graph to establish an appropriate viewing window.

6.

Vocabulary: Is y = 5 a linear equation? Explain.

7.

Reasoning: Is it always, sometimes, or never true that an equation in slope-intercept form represents a direct variation?

8.

Categorize: Place each equation (all written in slope-intercept form) into the correct category.

  • y=3.71x
  • y=-\frac{2}{3}x
  • y=\frac{5}{4}x+17
  • y=-5x
  • y=3x+2
  • Direct variation
  • NOT direct variation
9.

Writing: Describe two different methods you can use to graph the equation y = 2x + 4. Which method do you prefer? Explain.
