Exploring Slope And Intercept Worksheet Page 2

8. Sketch the following equations on your graphing calculator.

y = x

y = 2x

y = 4x

y = 6x

Describe the graphs.

9. Where do each of the graphs intersect the

x- and y-axis?

10. What conclusion can you determine about

graphs of equations of the form

y = some number times x?

11. As the coefficient of x increases, describe what happens to the graph of the equation.

12. Sketch the following equations on your graphing calculator.

y = -x

y = -2x

y = -4x

y = -6x

Describe the graphs.

13. Where do each of the graphs intersect the

x- and y-axis?

14. What conclusion can you determine about

graphs of equations of the form

y = some negative number times x?

15. How did the negative coefficient effect the graphs?
