1.13.1 • Writing Linear Equations

For questions 1 – 3, write the equation of:

A line with a slope of 5 and a $y$ -intercept of $\frac{1}{2}$ .

Compare your answer:

$y = 5 x + \frac{1}{2}$

A line with a slope of 2 that goes through $(- 1, 3)$ .

Compare your answer:

$y = \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{7}{2}$

A line that passes through $(2, 4)$ and $(1, - 2)$ .

Compare your answer:

$y = 6 x - 8$
