Two lines are parallel. What must be true about their slopes?
Answer: They are equal
Parallel lines never intersect because they share the same slope.
A line has slope 3. What is the slope of a line perpendicular to it?
Answer: -1/3
Perpendicular slopes are negative reciprocals, so the slope is -1/3.
In the equation y = -2x + 6, what does the 6 represent on the graph?
Answer: The y-intercept
In y = mx + b, the constant b is the y-intercept, here 6.
Which point lies on the line y = x - 4?
Answer: (6, 2)
Substituting x = 6 gives y = 6 - 4 = 2, so (6, 2) is on the line.
A graph shows a line falling from left to right. What is true about its slope?
Answer: It is negative
A line that decreases from left to right has a negative slope.
What is the distance between the points (0, 0) and (3, 4)?
Answer: 5
Using the distance formula, the square root of (3² + 4²) equals 5.
If a line has slope 0 and passes through (0, 3), what is its equation?
Answer: y = 3
A slope of 0 produces a horizontal line, here y = 3.
