Show your work. Slope = rise ÷ run; the equation of a line can be written as y = (slope)x + (y-intercept).
Answer: slope 1; 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 = (1 − (−2)) ÷ (−1 − 0)
- = 3 ÷ −1 = −3
Answer: −1
- slope = rise ÷ run = (4 − 0) ÷ (−5 − (−1))
- = 4 ÷ −4 = −1
Answer: slope −1; 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 − 0)
- = −9 ÷ 3 = −3
Answer: slope 3; y-intercept 0
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 5
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 8
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 = (−16 − (−4)) ÷ (−8 − (−4))
- = −12 ÷ −4 = 3
Answer: slope 5; 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.
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.
Great work. Here's what to try next:
