Alg 1 - Writing Linear Equations in Slope-Intercept Form Activity Sheet

This activity sheet, containing twenty exercises, focuses on the concept of writing an equation in slope-intercept form. Students are first reminded that the form y = mx + b is called slope-intercept form and m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept or initial value.

Students are challenged to

• Write equations of line in slope-intercept form given their slope and their y-intercept;

• Select a multiple choice answer for a line with a given slope and a y-intercept;

• Study some graphs of linear equations and then write the equation for each line in slope-intercept form;

• Write the equation of the line that passes through two given points; and

• Answer four questions about a real-world situation.

To help students visualize the slope-intercept form, graphs are provided or encourage for twelve of the exercises.

Solutions for all exercises are included.

All activity sheets, in my store, come with a full set of solutions, not just an answer for each question. If you are a new teacher or teaching the subject for the first time, these solutions can be helpful to you as you fine tune your skill in the course.
