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

  2.   Determine the slope and y-intercept of the graph of the equation
    A. m = -7;
    B. ; b = 7
    C. m = 7;
    D. ; b = -7
    Hint

  3.   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 (2, 3). Then draw the line through points at
(0, –2) and (2, 3).
    D. 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).
    Hint

  4.   Find the equation of the graph in slope-intercept form.
   
    A. y = 3x + 2 B. y = 3x – 2
    C. y = 2x – 3 D. y = 2x + 3
