Write a linear function with a slope of -9 and a y-intercept of 5
y =-9x+5
100
Which list contain points that lie on the graph of
y = 2x − 1?
a. (0, -1), (15, 29)
b. (-2, -4), (1, 3)
c. (-2, -3), (0, 0)
d. (2000, 1999), (3, 5)
a. (0, -1), (15, 29)
100
Identify the slope of the linear equation
y = -x + 6
The slope is -1
100
Solve the equation for x:
2(x + 3) = 14
x = 4
200
Identify the x-intercept and the y-intercept
The x intercept is the point where the line crosses the x axis. At this point y = 0.
The y intercept is the point where the line crosses the y axis. At this point x=0

Anthony is buying carrots and celery at the grocery store. The carrots cost $1.50 per pound, x. The celery costs $1.25 per pound, y. He has a total of $10 to spend.
Write an equation in standard form that represents how many pounds of carrots x and pound of celery y that he can buy.
1.5x+1.25y=10

Maria wants to buy oranges and bananas at the store. Let x represent the number of oranges and y represent the number of bananas. Oranges are $5 a pound and bananas are $4 a pound. She has a total of $20 to spend.
Write an equation in standard form that represents the situation.
5x+4y=20

Slope-Intercept Form: Equation
=y coordinate
=slope
=x coordinate
=y intercept

Write a linear function that passes through the points (0,2) and (-4,5).
y= -3/4x +2
400
Would (2,-2) be a solution to the inequality
y ≤ 2x + 1?
Yes because if (2, -2), then
-2 ≤ 2(2) + 1
-2 ≤ 4 + 1
-2 ≤ 5
Since this is true, (2,-2) is a solution.

Find the slope of a linear function that contains the points (-2 , 8) and (5 , -13)
m=(-13-8)/(5-(-2))=-21/7
m=-3

You are at school, 12 miles away from home. You start walking home with your friends at a speed of 3 miles per hour towards your home.
a. Write an equation that represents your distance from home (y) after (x) hours.
b. What does the slope of the equation represent?
c. What does the y-intercept of the equation represent?
a. y = -3x + 12
b. 3 miles per hour - walking closer to home (it is negative since the distance is getting shorter)
c. 12 miles away from home (the starting point)
