Find the slope of the following equation:

CORRECT

0

0

0

Explanation

To find the slope for a given equation, it needs to first be put into the "y=mx+b" format. Then our slope is the number in front of the x, or the "m". For this equation this looks as follows:

First subtract 2x from both sides:

That gives us the following:

Divide all three terms by three to get "y" by itself:

This means our "m" is -2/3

2

Find the slope of the following equation:

CORRECT

0

0

0

Explanation

To find the slope for a given equation, it needs to first be put into the "y=mx+b" format. Then our slope is the number in front of the x, or the "m". For this equation this looks as follows:

First add x to both sides:

That gives us the following:

Divide all three terms by four to get "y" by itself:

This means our "m" is 1/4

3

Find the slope of the following equation:

CORRECT

0

0

0

Explanation

To find the slope for a given equation, it needs to first be put into the "y=mx+b" format. Then our slope is the number in front of the x, or the "m". For this equation this looks as follows:

Our equation is already in the "y=mx+b" format, so our "m" is 6.

4

Find the slope of the following equation:

CORRECT

0

0

0

Explanation

To find the slope for a given equation, it needs to first be put into the "y=mx+b" format. Then our slope is the number in front of the x, or the "m". For this equation this looks as follows:

To put our equation in the "y=mx+b" format, flip the two terms on the right side of the equation:

So our "m" in this case is -2.

5

Find the slope of the equation:

CORRECT

0

0

0

0

Explanation

To determine the slope, we need the equation in slope intercept form.

Multiply by four on both sides to eliminate the fraction.

Add on both sides.

Combine like-terms.

Divide by nine on both sides.

The value of , or the slope, is .

6

Given the points and , what is the slope?

CORRECT

0

0

0

0

Explanation

Write the slope equation.

Substitute the points and solve for the slope.

The answer is:

7

What is the slopeof the line between the points (-1,0) and (3,5)?

CORRECT

0

0

0

Explanation

For this problem we will need to use the slope equation:

In our case and

Therefore, our slope equation would read:

8

What is the slope of the function

2

CORRECT

6

0

3

0

4

0

Explanation

To find the slope of this function we first need to get it into slope-intercept form

where

To do this we need to divide the function by 3:

From here we can see our m, which is our slope equals 2

9

What is the slope of the function:

4

CORRECT

8

0

2

0

3

0

Explanation

For this question we need to get the function into slope intercept form first which is

where the m equals our slope.

In our case we need to do algebraic opperations to get it into the desired form

Therefore our slope is 4

10

What is the slope for the line having the following points: (1, 5), (2, 8), and (3, 11)?

3

CORRECT

2

0

4

0

5

0

Explanation

To find the slope for the line that has these points we will use the slope formula with two of the points.

In our case and

Now we can use the slope formula:
