Original Prompt

8th grade math assessment. 2 questions where they are given an equation in y=mx+b form and have to identify the slope and y intercept. 4 questions where they are given a graph and need to use rise/run to find the slope, and 4 questions where they are given a table and need to use (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) to find the slope

This resource focuses on linear equations in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. Students will learn to identify the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) from given equations and graphs. The document includes exercises to find the slope using different methods, such as rise over run from graphs, and calculating slope from tables of values. There are step-by-step solutions provided, along with a scoring guide to evaluate student understanding. The objective is to enhance students' ability to work with linear equations and understand the relationship between variables.
