Question 1


Determine the slope of the line

y = 3x - 2

 
Answer
 
-3 -2 1 2 3

 
 
 
 
 
 


Check your work again. An alternate method may be advisable.
To read the slope of an equation, the form  y = mx + k  ( y = mx + b) is required


Question 2


 

Determine the slope of the line

x = -y + 5


Answer:
 

 
-1 1 5 undefined

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Check your work again. An alternate method may be advisable.
To read the slope of an equation, the form  y = mx + k  ( y = mx + b) is required


Question 3


Determine the slope of the line

2x - 3y = 7
Answer:
 
 
-3 -7/3 -2 -2/3 2/3
2 3 7/3 3.5 7

 
 
 
 
 
 


Check your work again.  An alternate method may be advisable.
To read the slope of an equation, the form  y = mx + k  ( y = mx + b) is required
 



Question 4



 

Determine the slope of the line

5x + 3y + 11 = 0
Answer:
 
 
-5 -3 -5/3 -1 1/5 -3/5
3/5 5/3 1 1/3

 
 
 
 
 
 


Check your work again. An alternate method may be advisable.
This equation is in standard form. The slope can be read from here, but to read the slope of an equation, the form  y = mx + k  ( y = mx + b) may be preferrd.



Question 5


Determine the slope of the line

( y - 3 ) / ( x + 2) = -2
Answer:
 
-2 2 3 undefined
