Study Notes

  • This is a review of equations of lines
  • The review includes fluency skills, multiple choice, and free response questions

Fluency Skills

  • For proportional variables, an equation for y in terms of x needs to be given
  • If x=4 and y=28, then y=7x
  • If x=48 and y=24, then y=0.5x
  • If x=14 and y=21, then y=1.5x
  • Lines to be graphed and labeled on a coordinate plane include:
  • y=(4/5)x
  • y=(3/2)x-6
  • y=-4x+7
  • y=2x-4
  • y=-x-1
  • The slope of a line is the "rise over run"
  • The slopes of lines a and b need to be stated according to this principle
  • The slope of a line that passes through pairs of points can be given in simplest form
  • For points (2,4) and (17,14), the slope is 2/3
  • For points (5,8) and (1,0), the slope is 2
  • For points (-2,6) and (8,4), the slope is -1/5
  • Systems of equations can be solved graphically
  • Need to solve the systems of equations y=(3/4)x-7 and y=-x+7
  • Need to solve the systems of equations y=3x-3 and y=-(1/2)x+4
  • A system of equations can be solved algebraically
  • Need to solve the system of equations y=6x+9 and y=2x-11

Multiple Choice Practice

  • With a proportional relationship where x=8 and y=-6, one of the equations that describes it is y=-(3/4)x
  • When graphed, the steepest line out of the following is y=(10/9)x
  • The slope of a line that passes through the points (-3,11) and (6,-4) is -(5/3)
  • For the line y=3x+4, it is not true that for every 1 unit that y increases, x increases by 3
  • For the line y=-(1/4)x-3, a correct expression for the slope is (-1/4)
  • The graph that represents the line y=2x-5 includes the point (0,-5) and (1, -3)
  • A solution to the system y=3x+8 and y=-2x-22 is (-6, -10)
  • To solve the system y=2x-2 and y=-2x+4, the substitution property of equality is used in Step 1 and Step 5
  • For line AB passing through points A(4,7) and B(8,-5), the equation of a parallel line is y=-3x+5
  • With values for points on a line being (-5, -13), (-2,-1), (1, 11), and (4, 23), the y-intercept of the line is -5
  • A line passes through points (0,5) and (3,11); when this line passes through x=10, the value of y is 25

Free Response Practice

  • A proportional relationship exists between x and y when x=9 and y=15
  • An equation for y in terms of x expressed in simplest form needs to be written and the relationship graphed
  • Whether the graph of this relationship be more or less steep that one whose equation is y = 2x needs to be determined
  • A proportional relationship between x and y exists whose slope is 2/3
  • The equation of this relationship in terms of x and y needs to be written
  • With a point lying on this relationship whose y-coordinate is 14, what the x-coordinate is should be justified
  • For a given plotted line a:
  • The slope and y-intercept needs to be determined
  • The equation of the line should be written
  • Whether the points (8,4) and (4,5) lie on this line should be determined
  • For the line y=-3x+1
  • The slope of this line needs to be determined
  • How to graph this line needs to be stated
  • The graphed line needs to be shown
  • A line has a slope of 1/2 and passes through the point (-4, 5)
  • This line needs to be plotted on a grid and its equation written
  • If this line contains the point (16, -5) should be justified
  • y=-x+4 and y=-4x-2 needs to be solved algebraically and the answer verified graphically
  • The lines v, w, x, and y need to be graphed and labeled
  • Which lines make systems with solutions at (-2, 0) and (1, 6) needs to be determined
  • Which of the lines form a system with no solutions needs to be determined
  • Consider four lines:
  • y=-(1/2)x+6
  • y=-(3/4)x+6
  • y=-(1/2)x-4
  • y=-(3/4)x-4
  • These lines should be plotted on a grid and the enclosed area shaded
  • What kind of shape was shaded should be stated
