The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, -9). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?
| y = -3x - 3 | |
| y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2 | |
| y = -3x - 1 | |
| y = -3x + 0 |
The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -3. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, -9) so the slope becomes:
m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-9.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-12}{4} \)Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:
y = -3x - 3
When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).
acute, obtuse |
|
obtuse, acute |

vertical, supplementary |
|
supplementary, vertical |
Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).
Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?
\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\) |
|
x-intercept |
|
slope |
|
y-intercept |
A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.
