Question

Choose one of the groups of equations from the table below. Indicate which group you choose in your word processing file.
Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Group 4
y = x + 4

–3x + 2y = 8

y = x – 2

–2x + 3y = -6

y = x + 3

–x + 3y = 9

y = x + 5

–x + 6y = 30


Type the first equation from the group you selected and identify the slope and the y-intercept of the equation.
Describe how you would graph this line using the slope-intercept method. Be sure to write in complete sentences.

Answer 1

Describe how you would graph this line using the slope-intercept method. Be sure to write in complete sentences.
In a paragraph of at least three sentences, explain how the graphs of the two equations in your group are the same and how they are different. Be sure to use complete sentences.
Part B: Graph the two equations you selected in Part A.

You can choose from the following two options for graphing and submitting your equations to your instructor:

You may graph your equations by hand on a piece of graph paper and scan your work.
You may graph your equations using graphic or graphing technology that can be found in the Course Information area.
