  • Q2
    Which of the following represents the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?
    y = mx - b
    y = a^2 + b^2
    y = ax^2 + bx + c
    y = mx + b
    y = mx^2 + nx + p

  • Q6
    What is the formula to calculate the slope when given the equation of a line in point-slope form?
    m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
    m = (x1 + x2) / (y1 + y2)
    m = (x1 - x2) / (y1 - y2)
    m = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)
    m = x2 - x1 / y2 - y1
