Anticipation Guide
Answer the following statements below by checking off whether or not you agree or disagree with each statement.



1. y=mx+b is said to be the equation of a line written in slope-intercept form.
2. Slope of a line is determined by the ratio of its horizontal change over its vertical change.
3. Negative slopes go up from the left side of the coordinate plane to the right side.
4. In your y=mx+b equation the ‘b’ represents the slope of your line.
5. A horizontal line has no slope.
6. If the slope of one line is 7, then a line that is parallel to it has a slope of

7. Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals.
8. If we are given the slope of a line and a point that lies on the line, then we can find its equation.
9. 4x + 2y =12 is the same as y = -2x +6
10. To find the y-intercept you could substitute 0 for x in your linear equation.
