Answer:

Matching

Match each equation to its graph.

Hint: You can determine the correct matches by plugging in both the x and y coordinates to check if they work in the equation. For example, if the equation is y = 2x + 3 and we choose the point (3,4) from one of the lines on the existing graphs, we'll plug in the (3,4) coordinates to check if it will work in our equation.

• y = 2x + 3,where y = 4 and x = 3
• 4 = 2(3) + 3
• 4 = 6 + 3
• 4 = 9
• This statement is not true, therefore this is not the correct equation for the line that you chose.

Equations:

1. y − x = 6
2. y = 3x − 5
3. y = −x + 3
4. y = 4x + 3
5. y = −3x + 5
