GRAPH THE LINE:

1) slope = 1 /5 ; Point (0, 3)

(0,3) (5,4) (10,5)

1) A car rental agency charges $30 plus $0.25 per mile for each mile driven

Therefore, 30 is the initial value which is our y-intercept. slope= 0.25

GRAPH THE LINE

2) slope = –2 ; Point (–1, 2)

(-1,2) (0,0) (1,-2)

200

find slope and y-intercept 

y = –40 x + 20

slope = –40

y-intercept = 20

GRAPH THE LINE

3) slope = 5 ; Point (–2, –2)

(-2,-2) (-1,3) (0,8) 

300

find slope and y-intercept

4) y = 2x – 10

slope = 2

y-intercept = –10

400

GRAPH THE LINE

4) slope = –2/3; Point (3, –1)

(3,-1) (6,-3) (9,-5)

2) A 2000 gallon pool is being emptied at a rate of 200 gallons per hour.

y-intercept = 2000

slope = 200
