The equation for this function in standard form

Lesson 11 Assignment
In this assignment you are going to explore the characteristics of linear functions.
Make sure you answer all questions in the spaces provided
Part A: Finding the Answer
In this section, you are going to use the formulas for linear functions (ax + by =c and y=mx + b)
For each question, answer the question giving the clues that you used in determining your answer. You will be given two
marks – one mark for your correct clues and one mark for the correct answer.
True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
_True___1. The slope of the equation y=5x+2 is 5 and the y-intercept is 2.
__False__ 2. The equation y= has a slope of 4 and a y-intercept of .
_True___3. The equation 2y=4x+8 has the slope of 2 and y-intercept of 4
__False__ 4.The equation y=4 produces a horizontal line through the x value of 4.

Comparing with y = mx + c, m=5, c=2
Comparing with y = mx + c, m= -1/2, c= 4
Comparing with y = mx + c, m= 2, c= 4
The line does not pass through (4,0)

__True__5. The x intercept of the equation x+y=4 is 4.
_True___6. The y intercept of the equation -x+4y=8 is 2.
__False__ 7. The equation 2x+5y = 10 has the x intercept of 2 and a y intercept of 5.
Part B: Solving the Problems
In this section, you are going to use the formulas for linear functions (ax + by =c and y=mx + b)
For each question, answer the question giving the clues that you used in determining your answer. You will be given two
marks - three mark for your correct clues and one mark for the correct answer.
8. Given two points (5,2) and (-1,8) the slope is:
9. Given two points (3,7) and (-5,-9) the slope of the line is:
10. Solve for x. Round your answer to one decimal place.

(x/4) + (y/4)= 1
X int = 4
(x/-2) + (y/2)= 1
Y int : 2
(x/5) + (y/2)= 1
X int = 5 , y int = 2
Slope: 8−2
−1−5 = -1
Slope: −9−7
−5−3 = 2
