Question
Answer
slope   m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)  
🗑
slope-intercept form of a line   The equation of the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.  
🗑
Point-slope form of a line   y - y1 = m (x - x1)  
🗑
direct variation   y = kx  
🗑
Variation constant   k; y/x = k  
🗑
Write an equation in slope intercept form given the following: m = 2, b = -6   y = 2x - 6  
🗑
Write the equation of a line that passes through the given points: (-5,5) and (1,-1)   y = -1x + 0  
🗑
Write the equation of a line that has the given slope and passes through the point: m = -2/3; (9,-6)   y + 6 = -2/3(x-9) Or y = -2/3x + 0  
🗑
Identify the slope and y-intercept. y = 5 + 3/4x   m = 3/4 b = 5  
🗑
Write the equation of a line that passes through the given points. (-4,-9) and (-8,0)   y = -9/4x - 18  
🗑
Write the equation of a line that has the given slope and passes through the point: m = 5; (-2,-3)   y = 5x + 7  
🗑
y-intercept   The coordinate at which a graph intersects the y-axis.  
🗑
Slope   The steepness of a line  
🗑
Zero Slope   Horizontal Line  
🗑
Positive Slope   Line moves up from left to right  
🗑
Negative Slope   Line moves down from left to right  
🗑
Y varies directly as x. What is the constant of variation when y = 14 when x = 2?   k = 14/2 = 7  
🗑
Y varies directly as x. What is the direct variation equation when y = 14 when x = 2?   y = 7x  
🗑
Y varies directly as x. Y = 3 when x = -2. What is the value of x when y = 12?   x = -8  
🗑
Name the slope and a point on the line y-3=2/3(x+5)   m = 2/3; (-5,3)  
🗑
Name a point on the line y+2=3(x+4)   (-4,-2)  
🗑
Name a point on the line y-10=-6(x-3)   (3,10)  
🗑
Graph   You will need to graph a line in the coordinate plane. Start with the y-intercept (b) and follow your slope rule to plot new points. Don't forget to connect the points to form a continuous graph!  
🗑
You   are awesome! Thank you for studying for the test tomorrow! (Mention this message to me in private or write me a note on the test tomorrow for 1 bonus point :))  
🗑
Undefined Slope   Vertical Line  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
