10th Grade Slope and Linear Equations Worksheet — Level 1 — Practice Set 2 — Answers
Show your work. Slope = rise ÷ run; the equation of a line can be written as y = (slope)x + (y-intercept).
Answer: slope 3; y-intercept 6
In y = (slope)x + (y-intercept), the number multiplying x is the slope and the constant is where the line crosses the y-axis.
Answer: slope −1; y-intercept −6
In y = (slope)x + (y-intercept), the number multiplying x is the slope and the constant is where the line crosses the y-axis.
Answer: slope −4; y-intercept −3
In y = (slope)x + (y-intercept), the number multiplying x is the slope and the constant is where the line crosses the y-axis.
Answer: slope 3; y-intercept −6
In y = (slope)x + (y-intercept), the number multiplying x is the slope and the constant is where the line crosses the y-axis.
Answer: slope 2; y-intercept −6
In y = (slope)x + (y-intercept), the number multiplying x is the slope and the constant is where the line crosses the y-axis.
Answer: slope −2; y-intercept −9
In y = (slope)x + (y-intercept), the number multiplying x is the slope and the constant is where the line crosses the y-axis.
Answer: −3
- slope = rise ÷ run = (6 − (−3)) ÷ (3 − 6)
- = 9 ÷ −3 = −3
Answer: −3
- slope = rise ÷ run = (11 − 5) ÷ (−6 − (−4))
- = 6 ÷ −2 = −3
Answer: slope 5; y-intercept −6
In y = (slope)x + (y-intercept), the number multiplying x is the slope and the constant is where the line crosses the y-axis.
Answer: −1
- slope = rise ÷ run = (2 − 1) ÷ (−3 − (−2))
- = 1 ÷ −1 = −1
Marking tips
- Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
- For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
- Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
