Create your own equation written in standard form.
y = 2x + 1
Determine any point that is a solution and will be on this line. Justify your answer algebraically.
y = 2x + 1
Point ( 2,5 )
5 = 2(2) +1 = 5 Therefore, true.
Explain how to find the x- and y- intercept(s) using complete sentences. Write the intercepts as ordered pairs.
To find the intercepts, we let x and y simultaneously equal to zero.
y = 2x + 1
0 = 2x + 1
x = -1/2 ---> x-intercept ( -1/2, 0 )
y = 2x + 1
y = 0 + 1 = 1 --> y-intercept (0,1)
