When graphing linear equations, where do we begin?

We begin at the y-intercept.

200
In the following linear equation, what is the y-intercept? y = -3/4x
0
200

Solve:

3x - 2 = -14

x = -4

300
Name three ways to describe slope.

Graph the following equation. Include at least 3 points. y = 1/3x + 4

Graph should start with the point at (0, 4) Movement should be 1 up and 3 to the right continuing to another point. Movement could also be 1 down and 3 to the left.

300
Rewrite this equation in slope-intercept form. x + y = -12
y = -x - 12
300

What is the slope of this equation?

 x = 5

Undefined Slope

400
Find the slope of the line that includes the following points. (4, -5) (-4, 5)
-10/8 which simplifies to -5/4
400

Graph the following equation. Include at least three points. y = -2

Graph should begin with a point on the y-axis at -2. A horizontal line should be drawn through -2 extending on both sides of the y-axis.

400
Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form. 3x + 6y = -18
y = -1/2x - 3
400

Graph the following equation. 8x + 4y = 16

Should be rewritten as y = -2x + 4 and then graphed.

500
Find the slope of the line that includes the following points. (-12, -9) (-3, -3)
-6/-9 = 6/9 = 2/3
500

Make a table of values with at least 4 ordered pairs for the following equation. y = 1/2x -5 

Table should list four numbers chosen for x and then solved by multiplying by 1/2 and subtracting 5. If x is 2 then If x is 4 then 1/2(2) = 1 - 5 1/2(4) = 2 - 5 then y = -4 then y = -3

500
Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form. 3.5x - 7y = -21
-7y = -3.5x + 21 y = 0.5x - 3 or y = 1/2x - 3
500
