2. Hello, ~NeonFire372~!

You did pretty good . . . my comments are in blue.

1. The point (0,0) is called the _____. .origin

2. What is the slope of a vertical line? It's undefined, right? .Right!

3. When graphing, the independent variable is... always on the x-axis right?] .Right!

4. In the equation y = -3x, the y-intercept is ___. .zero

5. For the point (4,5) the 5 means five units along the ___ axis. y, right?] .Right!

6. What is the slope of a horizontal line? I think its 0/1 .just 0
