Answer Key
Section 1 · Multiple Choice
- 1. BSubtract 7 from both sides: 3x = 15. Divide by 3: x = 5.
- 2. AIn y = mx + b, the coefficient of x is the slope. Here m = -2.
- 3. AAt x = 1: y = 3(1) - 1 = 2. So (1, 2) is on the line.
- 4. CDivide by 2: x - 3 = 5. Add 3: x = 8.
- 5. BSet x = 0: 2y = 8, so y = 4. The y-intercept is 4.
- 6. CParallel lines never intersect, which means they share the same slope.
