Complexity=1, Mode=pt-pt

Solve. Answer using slope-intercept form. Sample answers: y=-3x/2+3, y=2x-4

Answers

Complexity=1, Mode=m-pt

Solve. Answer using slope-intercept form. Sample answers: y=-3x/2+3, y=2x-4

Problem

Correct Answer

Your Answer

In slope-intercept form, write the equation of a line that goes through point (0, -5) with slope 1/4.

Equation:

Solution
Plug what you know into y=mx+b to get this:

Now solve for b:
b = ^-5

Plug m and b back into y=mx+b to get the answer

Alternate Solution
Start by plugging the slope and point into point-slope form

Now solve for y

Problem

Correct Answer

Your Answer

In slope-intercept form, write the equation of a line that goes through point (-4, 2) with slope 2/3.

Equation:

Solution
Plug what you know into y=mx+b to get this:

Now solve for b:

Plug m and b back into y=mx+b to get the answer

Alternate Solution
Start by plugging the slope and point into point-slope form

Now solve for y

Complexity=1, Mode=pt-pt

Solve. Answer using slope-intercept form. Sample answers: y=-3x/2+3, y=2x-4

Problem

Correct Answer

Your Answer

In slope-intercept form, write the equation of a line that goes through point (4, 4) and (-4, 0).

Equation:

Solution
Calculate the slope:
(y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) =
(0 - 4) / (-4 - 4) =

Plug (4, 4) into y=mx+b to get this:

Now solve for b:
b = 2

Plug m and b back into y=mx+b to get the answer

Alternate Solution
Plug the slope and (4, 4) into point-slope form

Now solve for y

Problem

Correct Answer

Your Answer

In slope-intercept form, write the equation of a line that goes through point (1, 0) and (3, -4).

Equation:

Solution
Calculate the slope:
(y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) =
(-4 - 0) / (3 - 1) =
-2

Plug (1, 0) into y=mx+b to get this:
0 = ^-2 • 1 + b

Now solve for b:
b = 2

Plug m and b back into y=mx+b to get the answer
y = ^-2x + 2

Alternate Solution
Plug the slope and (1, 0) into point-slope form
y = ^-2(x - 1)

Now solve for y
y = ^-2x + 2
