TIPS FOR SUCCESS
Some questions on standardized
tests ask you to use a graph.
Read the sample question at
the right. Then follow the tips to
answer it.
TIP 1
Identifying the y-intercept may
help eliminate some possibilities.

What is an equation of the line shown
below?

C7D y * f * - 1
>y* 3*

CO y = 3* - 1

TIP 2
Find the slope by using the point that represents the
y-intercept and another point on the line.

Think I f Through
You can see from die graph that
the y-intercept is - 1. So you
can eliminate choices B and D.
To get from (0, - 1 ) to (1,2),
move3 units up and 1 unit to
die right. The slope is f = 3. So
an equation is y ** 3* - 1. The
correct answer is C.
