1.   If the graph of a line crosses the x–axis, that point of intersection is called the________.
    A. origin B. y–intercept
    C. x–intercept D. slope of the line
    Hint

  2.   Write an equation in slope–intercept form of the line passing through points at (1, –1) and (-3, 3).
    A. y = –x B. y = –x + 1
    C. y = 1 D. y = –1
    Hint

  3.   Write an equation in slope–intercept form of the line with slope 14 and
y-intercept 28.
    A. y = 14x + 28 B. x = 28y + 14
    C. x = 14y + 28 D. y = 28x + 14
    Hint

  4.   Write an equation in slope–intercept form of the line with slope -5 that passes through the point at (2, 3).
    A. y = 4x – 5 B. y = -5x + 13
    C. y = 16x – 5 D. y = -5x –7
    Hint

  5.   Write an equation in slope–intercept form of the line that passes through the points at (-5, 4) and (3, -1).
    A. y = x B. x = -y +
    C. x = y D. y = -x +
