How can you tell if a graph represents a linear or a nonlinear relationship?

Linear - straight line

Nonlinear - not a straight line

What is the equation of a line that has a slope of 4 and a y - intercept of (0, 5) in slope intercept form?

y = 4x + 5

What is the y - intercept in the equation y = 2x - 3 as a coordinate?

(0, 3)

How can you tell if an equation represents a linear or a nonlinear relationship?

Linear - highest degree on independent variable is 1

Nonlinear - highest degree on independent variable is not 1

What is the equation of a line that passes through the points (3, 2) and (4, 3)?

y = x - 1

200

What is the x - intercept in the equation y = 2x - 4 as a coordinate?

(2, 0)

How can you tell if a table represents a linear or a nonlinear relationship?

Linear - change in y / change in x is constant

Nonlinear - change in y / change in x is not constant

Rearrange the following equation so that it is in slope y intercept form:

6x - 2y + 20 = 0

y = 3x + 10

Ms. Dufault is going to pull up a photo. Please tell her if it's linear or nonlinear.

Nonlinear

What is the equation of a line that passes through (4, 5) and is perpendicular to y = 2x + 3?

y = -0.5x + 7

What does the point of intersection tell you (How would you use it to answer a question?)

Up until the POI something is better, at the POI it's the same, after the other option is better

Ms. Dufault is going to pull up a table. Is it linear or nonlinear?

Linear

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to 4x - y + 3 = 0 and has the same y - intercept as -4x + 3y + 15 in slope y - intercept form.

y = 4x - 5

How can we tell if coordinates on a graph make a rectangle (use specific terms!)?

Two sets of parallel lines (should be opposite each other) and all lines that intersect need to be perpendicular.
