    What is the change in y? - ProProfs

    What is the change in y?

    • 5

    • 3

    • 2

    • -2

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    The change in y is 3 because it is the difference between the last given value of y (2) and the previous value of y (5).

    What is slope?

    • A measure of the steepness of a line; compares the vertical distance to the horizontal distance.

    • A measure of how long the line is

    • The horizontal change compared to the vertical change

    • Change in x over a change in y

    Correct Answer
    A. A measure of the steepness of a line; compares the vertical distance to the horizontal distance.
    Explanation
    Slope is a measure of the steepness of a line and is determined by comparing the vertical distance to the horizontal distance. It indicates how much the line is rising or falling as it moves horizontally. The greater the slope, the steeper the line. The correct answer accurately describes slope as a measure of steepness and the comparison between vertical and horizontal distances.

    Which is true about the slope of a line?  

    • It is constant, the same slope for the whole line

    • It can change throughout the line

    Correct Answer
    A. It is constant, the same slope for the whole line
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "it is constant, the same slope for the whole line." This means that the slope of a line does not change as you move along the line. It remains constant and consistent throughout the entire line.

  • 5. 

    Which line is steeper?

    • Y = 5x

    • Y = .5x

    Correct Answer
    A. Y = 5x
    Explanation
    The bigger the number the steeper the line.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which line is steeper?

    • Y = 20x

    • Y = 15x

    Correct Answer
    A. Y = 20x
    Explanation
    The bigger the number the steeper the line.

    What is the y-intercept (starting value) of the line y = -3x - 7?

    • 3

    • 7

    • -7

    • -3

    Correct Answer
    A. -7
    Explanation
    y-intercept is your b value or always the number that follows the x.

    What is a trend line?

    • A line that intersects every point on the graph.

    • A line that represents a set of data but does not intersect all the points.

    Correct Answer
    A. A line that represents a set of data but does not intersect all the points.
    Explanation
    A trend line is a line that represents a set of data but does not intersect all the points. It is used to show the general direction or trend of the data and is often used in statistical analysis to make predictions or identify patterns. The line is drawn in a way that minimizes the distance between the line and the data points, providing a visual representation of the relationship between the variables being studied.

    What is the slope of the line? - ProProfs

    What is the slope of the line?

    • -1

    • -2

    • 2

    • -3

    Correct Answer
    A. -2
    Explanation
    The slope of a line represents the rate at which the line is rising or falling. In this case, the correct answer is -2, which means that for every increase of 1 unit on the x-axis, the line will decrease by 2 units on the y-axis. The negative sign indicates that the line is sloping downwards from left to right.

    What is the slope of the line?

    • -3/2

    • 3

    • 2/3

    • 3/2

    Correct Answer
    A. 3/2
    Explanation
    Pick any two points (4,4) (6,7) (8,10) Each time you go over 2 you rise up 3. So rise over run.... 3/2.

    What is the slope of the line  y = 9x + 4?

    • 4

    • 4/9

    • 9/4

    • 9

    Correct Answer
    A. 9
    Explanation
    Slope is the m in the equation mx + b..... so 9 is the slope.
