1) A line goes through points (3,-1) and (-2,-2). Find the slope of the line, and write the line's equation in point-slope form (you can delete this part if you don't know what slope means.
the two possible answers for this problem are
y + 2 = 1/5 * (x + 2)
y + 1 = 1/5 * (x - 3)
2) A line has a y intercept at 3, and an x intercept at 1. Find the slope of the line and write the line's equation in standard form.
any question that asks for the slope of a line that goes between any two points, as well as giving an equation that has to be changed into y=mx+b form and asking for slope that way. for instance:
Give the slope of the line that corresponds to the following equation:

y = -3x + 1
A line has a slope of 5/3 and passes through the point (3,1). At what point does it intersect the line x=2?
Or, if you want to look cool you can say:
What is the slope of y = x^2 at the point (1, 1)?
by magic, [slope = x/2] so slope = 1/2
Find the slope of a line that passes through (-1, 1) and (1, -1).
Find the slope of a line that passes through (-5, 2) and (6, 24)
any question that asks for the slope of a line that goes between any two points, as well as giving an equation that has to be changed into y=mx+b form and asking for slope that way. for instance:
Give the slope of the line that corresponds to the following equation:
5y=3x+8 (the answer is three-fifths)
Find the slope of a line that passes through (-5, 2) and (6, 24)
if you dont know how to do it you do y2-y1/x2-x1
