    A. let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y B. multiply the coefficients of x and y
    C. let x = –1 in the equation and solve for y D. let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x
    Hint

  2.   Determine the x-intercept and y-intercept of the graph of the equation
–3x + 5y = 15.
    A. –5, –3 B. 5, –3
    C. –5, 3 D. 5, 3
    Hint

    A.
    B.
    C. m = 2; b = 4
    D. m = 4; b = 2
    Hint

  4.   To graph the equation by using the slope and y-intercept, you would ________.
    A. graph the point at (–2, 0). Then go up 5 units and right 2 units. This will be the point at (0, 5). Then draw the line through points at
(–2, 0) and (0, 5).
    B. graph the point at (0, –2). Then go up 5 units and left 2 units. This will be the point at (–2, 3). Then draw the line through points at
(0, –2) and (–2, 3).
    C. graph the point at (0, –2). Then go up 5 units and right 2 units. This will be the point at (3, 2). Then draw the line through points at
(0, –2) and (3, 2).
    D. graph the point at (0, –2). Then go up 5 units and right 2 units. This will be the point at (2, 3). Then draw the line through points at
(0, –2) and (2, 3).
    Hint

  5.   Find the equation of the graph in slope-intercept form.
