1.   To find the y-intercept of the graph of an equation, you should _______.
    A. multiply the coefficients of x and y B. let x = –1 in the equation and solve for y
    C. let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x D. let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y
    Hint

  2.   Determine the slope and y-intercept of the graph of –4 + 2y = 8x.
    A. m = 4; b = 2
    B. m = 2; b = 4
    C.
    D.
    Hint

  3.   To graph the equation by using the slope and y-intercept, you would ________.
    A. 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).
    B. 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).
    C. 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).
    D. 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).
    Hint
