Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

PART A)

1. y=-x+7

The answer you have selected is correct. The equation has a slope of -1 and when you plug in (3,4), you find the equation is equal.

2. y=-3

The answer you have selected is not correct. The slope is 0, as you have a horizontal line that goes through -3 on the y-axis. That means your y-value must always be -3. Hence, F is your answer, as both y-values include -3.

3. x-2y=6

Let's rewrite the equation:


y= (1)/(2)x-3

This was accomplished by moving x to the right, and then dividing everything by -2 to isolate y.

Following slope formula, the slope is 1/2. Because the y-intercept is (0,-3), we must begin there.

To find points, we can add our rise (y) over run (x) to (0,-3). The next positive point would thus be (2,-2). Continuing, (4,-1), and (6,0). This means B is your answer.

4. y=(2/3)x

Following the formula y=mx+b, where m is your slope, this means the slope of the equation is 2/3. There is no given y-intercept, so you may begin at (0,0). To find points for this equation, we can use rise over run (for the numerator, you rise, and for the denominator, you run.)

By rising 2 and running 3, you achieve the point (3,2). Following this logic, any multiple of 3 for x is acceptable, and any multiple of 2 for y is acceptable. This makes your answer E because both (3,2) and (-9,6) follow this logic.

5. y=(-1/2)x-3

Our slope is thus (-1/2) and our y-intercept is (0,-3). We can find points by adding our rise (y) over run (x) to (0,-3).

This means we have points: (-2,-2), (2,-4), and (4,-5). This makes your answer A.

6. y=3

Your slope is 0. All y-values must equal 3, as this is a horizontal line going through the point (0,3). Hence, your answer is G.

7. x=-3

You have a vertical line going through (-3,0). This means your slope is undefined, and all points must have an x-value of -3. Hence, your answer is D.

8. x=4

You have a vertical line going through (4,0). This means your slope iis undefined, and all points must have an x-value of 4. Hence, your answer is I.

9. 2x+y=-3.

By process of elimination, your answer is C.

PART B)

1. y=2x.

Your slope is positive, with a y-intercept of (0,0). Following the rule of rise over run, you will rise 2 points and run 1. This makes your answer B.

2. y=(-2/3)x+4

Your slope is negative, with a y-intercept of (0,4). This makes your answer F.

3. y=2x-3

Your slope is positive, with a y-intercept of (0,-3). This makes your answer C.

4. y=-x

Your slope is -1, and your y-intercept is (0,0). This makes your answer E.

5. y=x-3

Your slope is positive, and your y-intercept is (0,-3). This makes your answer D.

6. By process of elimination, your answer is A.

Hope this helps! x
