2. What do we know about the angles of triangles? What about right triangles?
 The sum of the angles is 180ᵒ.
 The sum of the remaining angles in a right triangle will be 90ᵒ.

 (They may also notice that) Supplementary angles are formed along a straight
line.

 What do you know about the side lengths?
 They are equal

you tell what shape your quadrilateral is? How are you sure?
 Yes, it is a square. All sides are equal and all interior angles are right
angles.

Slope Test SCORING GUIDE

Correct Answer Point Values
 Question #1
a. Slope
Any answers that make sense
will do.
Look for key words such as: rate
of change, rise/run, Δy/Δx, 1 { 1: correct description
and/or steepness of a line.
b. y-intercept
Any answer that makes sense
will do.
Look for key phrases such as:
“the point where a line crosses
the y-axis,” or, 1 { 1: correct description
“ The solution of the line
equation when x=0”

 Question #2
a. Match each equation to its
corresponding line.
i. y = 1

ii. y = -6x-6
iii. 12y + 7 x = -30 { 1: match (i) with red line
 y = -7/12 – 8/3 { 1: match (ii) with orange line
iv. 7y - 2x + 7 = 0 { 1: match (iii) with green line
 y = 2/7 x – 1 6 { 1: match (iv) with blue line
v. ½y = x { 1: match (v) with purple line
 y = 2x { 1: match (vi) with pink line
vi. y = (-7/12)x + 3/2

b. Which line has the largest

slope? Which line has the
smallest slope? How can { 1: orange line largest
you tell? { 1: reason
The orange line has the largest 4{
slope. We can tell because it is { 1: red line smallest
the steepest. { 1: reason
The red line has the smallest
slope. We can tell because it is
the flattest.

c. Are there any lines with a

slope of zero? Are there any
lines with an undefined
slope? Use the definition of
slope to explain your
answers.
There is a line with zero slope,
the red line. Using the
definition of slope, if we plug in { 1: red line with zero slope
points on this line for Δy/Δx we { 1: reason
get (1-1)/(-7-6) = 0/-13 = 0. (For 4{
any horizontal line, the “rise” { 1: no undefined slope
will always be zero!) { 1: reason
There is not a line with an
undefined slope. Again using
the definition of slope, it would
only be undefined if Δx = 0, or
any case where the “run” is
equal to zero (aka a vertical
line). The graph has no lines like
this.

 Math Worksheets and Tests

{ 1: horizontal = 0 slope
 Question #3 2{
A line with slope = 0 is a { 1: vertical = undefined
horizontal line. A line with an
undefined slope is a vertical
line.

 Question #4
a. 2y = -4x - 10
y = -2x - 5
 slope = -2, y-int = -5

{ 1: slope
3 { 1: y-intercept
{ 1: graph

b. y = 3 – 1/3x
 slope = - 1/3, y-int = 3
{ 1: slope
3 { 1: y-intercept
{ 1: graph

Page 20 of 24
 Math Worksheets and Tests

c. 10y = 5x + 30

y = ½x + 3
 slope = ½, y-int = 3

{ 1: slope
3 { 1: y-intercept
{ 1: graph

d. 9y = 27x - 18
y = 3x – 2
 slope = 3, y-int = -2

{ 1: slope
3 { 1: y-intercept
{ 1: graph

e. Their slopes are the

negative reciprocal of one
another so they will be 1 { 1: perpendicular
perpendicular to one
another.

-(-½)-1 = -(-2) = 2
 Question #5
a. What is the slope of a line
parallel to this line?
(b) -½
b. What is the slope of a line
perpendicular to this line?
(d)2 1 { 1: (b) -½

Page 21 of 24
 Math Worksheets and Tests
d. The slope of a line that rises
from left to right is positive.
1{ 1: slope = 2 True.

 Question #6
Since the new line will be { 1: reason
parallel, it will have the same 3 { 1: b (y-intercept)
slope. { 1: equation
(-5) = (-7)(4) + b
-5 = -28 + b
b = 23
The equation of the parallel line
is y = -7x + 23

 Question #7
Since the new line will be { 1: reason
perpendicular, its slope will be 3 { 1: b (y-intercept)
the negative reciprocal of this { 1: equation
line’s slope. So, the slope is 3/2.
b = -9
The equation of the line is
y = (3/2)x – 9

 Question #8
a. The y-intercept of the equation
y = 7x – 5 is 5. { ½ : false
False. The y-intercept of the 1{
equation y = 7x – 5 is -5. { ½ : new statement
OR The y-intercept of the
equation y = 7x + 5 is 5.
b. The slope of a vertical line is
zero. { ½ : false
False. The slope of a vertical 1{
line is undefined. { ½ : new statement
OR The slope of a horizontal
line is zero.
c. The slope of a horizontal line is 1 { 1: true
zero.
True.

1 { 1: true

{ ½ : false
e. The slope is equal to the run 1{
over the rise. { ½ : new statement
