10th Grade Slope and Linear Equations Worksheet — Level 2 — 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: −2
- slope = rise ÷ run = (13 − 5) ÷ (−2 − 2)
- = 8 ÷ −4 = −2
Answer: slope 1; y-intercept 7
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 5; 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: slope 1; y-intercept −7
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 = rise ÷ run = (−8 − (−3)) ÷ (3 − (−1))
- = −5 ÷ 4 = −
Answer:
- slope = rise ÷ run = (−13 − (−6)) ÷ (−5 − (−1))
- = −7 ÷ −4 =
Answer: y = 2x − 9
- y = 2x + (y-intercept)
- −3 = 2 × 3 + (y-intercept)
- y-intercept = −3 − 6 = −9
- y = 2x − 9
Answer: y = 2x + 9
- y = 2x + (y-intercept)
- 17 = 2 × 4 + (y-intercept)
- y-intercept = 17 − 8 = 9
- y = 2x + 9
Answer: slope −2; y-intercept 1
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 2
In y = (slope)x + (y-intercept), the number multiplying x is the slope and the constant is where the line crosses the y-axis.
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.
