Example Questions

Example Question #91 : Linear Algebra

Find the slope of the following line:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the slope of the line, we will write the equation in slope-intercept form:

where m is the slope of the line.

So, given the line

we will solve for y. We get

Therefore, the slope of the line is 2.

Example Question #92 : Linear Algebra

Determine the slope of the following equation:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To identify the slope, we will need the equation in slope-intercept form.

Add 6 on both sides.

Subtract  on both sides.

The equation becomes:  

The slope is the coefficient of , which is .

The answer is:  

Example Question #93 : Linear Algebra

What is the slope given a point  and a y-intercept of 5?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The y-intercept is the value at , which means another given point is .

Write the formula to find the slope.

Substitute the points.

The answer is:  

Example Question #261 : Algebra

What is the slope of the following equation?  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The equation is already given in slope-intercept form:

The  is the slope, and the  represents the y-intercept.

The answer is:  

Example Question #822 : Ged Math

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points  and ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Recall how to find the slope of a line:

Plug in the coordinates from the given points to find the slope.

The slope of the line is .

Example Question #823 : Ged Math

Find the slope of the following equation:  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Subtract  from both sides.

Divide by negative 6 on both sides.

The answer is:  

Example Question #31 : Finding Slope And Intercepts

Find the slope of the following line:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the slope, we will write the equation in slope-intercept form:

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. 

So, given the equation

we will solve for y. We get

 

 

Now, if we compare this equation to the slope-intercept form above, we can see that 9 is the slope. 

Example Question #32 : Finding Slope And Intercepts

Find the y-intercept of the following equation:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the y-intercept, we will write the equation in slope-intercept form:

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

So, given the equation

we will solve for y. We get

 

 

So, if we compare this equation to the formula above, we can see that the y-intercept is 2.

Example Question #31 : Finding Slope And Intercepts

What is the y-intercept to the equation ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The equation is already given in slope-intercept format.

The y-intercept is denoted by the letter .

The answer is:  

Example Question #822 : Ged Math

What is the slope of the following equation?  

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept format:

Divide both sides by two.

The slope is .
