These are basic questions that you will see early in algebra.  They are not so difficult but you may not have been introduced to them in pre-algebra.

  Lines, slope, and intercepts

What is the slope of the line y = 3x +1 ? 3
Note: the slope of a line is the ratio of rise (vertical change, ∆y) to run (horizontal change, ∆x)  
What is the y-intercept of the the line y = -2x +5 ? (0,5)
Note: the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis.  Except for vertical lines, all do. The value of x is 0 for that point.  
Give a table of values for the line 2x + 3y = 3.  Where does it cross the y-axis? sample points: (3,-1); (3/2, 0) and  y-int at (0,1)
What is the slope of the line y = 2x + 4 ? 2
What is the y-intercept of the line y = -3x  ? (0,0)
Where does the line 5x + 3y= 3 cross the y-axis? (0,1)
Name three points on the line 3x - 2y = 4. samples: (0, -2); (4/3, 0); (4,4)

Function rules and notation

Write a function rule for: (3,4); (4,5); (6,7); (7,8) y = x + 1
