Here's a quick reminder about linear equations:
Question 1
1.

A line has a slope of 4, and it goes through the point (8, 20).
In the slope-intercept form y=mx+b, the value of m is...

Question 2
2.

A line has a slope of 4, and it goes through the point (8, 20).
In the slope-intercept form y=mx+b, the value of x is...

Question 3
3.

A line has a slope of 4, and it goes through the point (8, 20).
In the slope-intercept form y=mx+b, the value of y is...

Question 4
4.

A line has a slope of 4, and it goes through the point (8, 20).
In the slope-intercept form y=mx+b, which variable(letter)'s value is unknown?

Question 5
5.

In the Show Your Work box, the values for m, x, and y have all been substituted into the equation y=mx+b. Simplify and solve the equation for b.

Here are the notes to guide you through finding the equation when you are given a point and a slope without a graph.
Here is the video going through the notes if you need it.
Question 6
6.

Find the equation of the line that has a slope of -2 and goes through the point (16, -4). Which of the following correctly gives the values for m, x, and y?

Question 7
7.

What is the equation of the line that has a slope of -2 and goes through the point (16, -4)? Work must be shown!

On the last problem, you will need to multiply a fraction by a whole number. Here is a reminder of how to do that.

Question 8
8.

What is the equation of the line that has a slope of 1/3 that goes through the point (24,20)
