Select the three equations that pass through the points (–4, –16) and (5, 2):

A
y + 4 = 2(x – 16)
B
y – 2 = 2(x – 5)
C
y = 2x – 8
D
y + 16 = 2(x + 4)
8

The point-slope form of its equation is ✔ y + 6 = 2(x – 0) y – 0 = 2(x + 3)y + 6 = –2(x – 0) y – 0 = –2(x – 3).

A
✔ y + 6 = 2(x – 0)
B
y – 0 = 2(x + 3)
C
y + 6 = –2(x – 0)
D
y – 0 = –2(x – 3)

Explain how you would write a two-variable linear equation for this situation.

Answer:

To write the equation, I first identified the independent variable as the number of days (x) and the dependent variable as the number of petri dishes (y). The initial value is 185 petri dishes at 0 days, which represents the y-intercept (0, 185). Since the number of petri dishes decreases by 12 each day, the slope (m) is -12. Using the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, the equation for this situation is y = -12x + 185.

Which of the following did your explanation include? Check all of the boxes that apply.

A
The relationship is between the days that have gone by and the number of petri dishes.
B
The point (0, 185) means that if 0 days have gone by there are 185 petri dishes.
C
The number of petri dishes decreases by 12 each day, so the slope is –12.
D
Use the slope-intercept form to write the equation y = –12x + 185.

Describe how you would write the equation for the relationship between the number of photos ordered and the amount paid.

Answer:

To write the equation, I would first identify the ordered pairs from the data provided: (5, 2.70), (11, 3.24), and (20, 4.05). Next, I would calculate the slope (m) by finding the ratio of the change in cost to the change in the number of photos. Using two points, the slope is 0.09. Finally, I would use the point-slope form or substitute the slope and one point into the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) to solve for the y-intercept, resulting in the equation y = 0.09x + 2.25.

Which steps did you use in your solution? Check all of the boxes that apply.

A
wrote the ordered pairs (5, 2.70), (11, 3.24), and (20, 4.05)
B
used two of the ordered pairs to find the slope
C
wrote the point-slope form for a linear equation
D
substituted the slope and the coordinates of one of the points to write the equation of the line
