Create a linear equation for the following scenario:  

I get paid $15 an hour, work 30 hours a week, and there are 4 weeks in a month.

y = 1800x

100

If the slope is undefined, the graph is....

vertical

100

This equation helps us find a line using the slope and the intercept

slope intercept form or y = mx + b

200

When graphing linear equations, we start with the...

the y-intercept.

Find the x and y intercepts for the following equation: 2x-4y = 12

(6,0) and (0,-3)

200

Are these lines perpendicular, parallel or neither?

y = 2x + 3 

4x + 2y = 2

neither

Write an equation for the following scenario: 

Finn had $293 in his savings account, but he started withdrawing $10 each week for spending money.

y = -10x + 293

300

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

Rewrite the following equation in standard form.

y = 5x + 2

5x - y = -2

Seth’s father is thinking of buying his son a six-month movie pass for $40. With the pass, matinees cost $1.00. If matinees are normally $3.50 each, how many times a month must Seth go a movie in order for it to benefit his father to buy the pass?

7 times a month

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.

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

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
