Step-by-step solution for: Graphing Linear Equations (and Key Attributes of Linear Functions ...
Let's go through each of the given linear equations, analyze the graphs provided (based on the image), and identify the x-intercept, y-intercept, and slope for each line. We’ll also verify if the answers are correct.
---
- Graph: A straight line with positive slope.
- x-intercept: Where the line crosses the x-axis (y = 0):
$$
0 = x - 3 \Rightarrow x = 3 \Rightarrow (3, 0)
$$
- y-intercept: Where the line crosses the y-axis (x = 0):
$$
y = 0 - 3 = -3 \Rightarrow (0, -3)
$$
- Slope: From the equation $ y = x - 3 $, the coefficient of $ x $ is 1 → slope = 1
✔ Correct as shown.
---
Rewriting in slope-intercept form:
$$
y = -2x + 4
$$
- x-intercept: Set $ y = 0 $:
$$
0 = -2x + 4 \Rightarrow 2x = 4 \Rightarrow x = 2 \Rightarrow (2, 0)
$$
- y-intercept: Set $ x = 0 $:
$$
y = -2(0) + 4 = 4 \Rightarrow (0, 4)
$$
- Slope: Coefficient of $ x $ is $-2$ → slope = -2
But in your image, it says y-intercept = (0, -4) — that’s incorrect.
✘ Error: The y-intercept should be (0, 4), not (0, -4).
Also, the graph shows a downward-sloping line from (2, 0) to (0, 4), which matches $ y = -2x + 4 $. So the slope = -2 is correct.
✔ Slope: ✔️
✘ y-intercept: ✘ (should be (0, 4))
---
- x-intercept: Set $ y = 0 $:
$$
0 = 3x \Rightarrow x = 0 \Rightarrow (0, 0)
$$
- y-intercept: Set $ x = 0 $:
$$
y = 3(0) = 0 \Rightarrow (0, 0)
$$
- Slope: Coefficient of $ x $ is 3 → slope = 3
✔ All correct.

Rewrite in slope-intercept form:
$$
-2y = -x + 10 \Rightarrow y = \frac{1}{2}x - 5
$$
- x-intercept: Set $ y = 0 $:
$$
0 = \frac{1}{2}x - 5 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}x = 5 \Rightarrow x = 10 \Rightarrow (10, 0)
$$
- y-intercept: Set $ x = 0 $:
$$
y = \frac{1}{2}(0) - 5 = -5 \Rightarrow (0, -5)
$$
- Slope: $ \frac{1}{2} $
But in your image, it says:
- x-intercept: (2, 0) → ✘ Incorrect
- y-intercept: (0, -5) → ✔ Correct
- slope: 1 → ✘ Incorrect
✘ The x-intercept should be (10, 0), not (2, 0)
✘ Slope should be 1/2, not 1
So this one has two errors.

Simplify:
Divide entire equation by 3:
$$
2x - y = 2 \Rightarrow y = 2x - 2
$$
- x-intercept: Set $ y = 0 $:
$$
0 = 2x - 2 \Rightarrow 2x = 2 \Rightarrow x = 1 \Rightarrow (1, 0)
$$
- y-intercept: Set $ x = 0 $:
$$
y = 2(0) - 2 = -2 \Rightarrow (0, -2)
$$
- Slope: 2
In your image:
- x-intercept: (1, 0) → ✔
- y-intercept: (0, 3) → ✘ Should be (0, -2)
- slope: 3 → ✘ Should be 2
✘ y-intercept and slope are incorrect.
---
Solve for y:
$$
2y = -3x + 6 \Rightarrow y = -\frac{3}{2}x + 3
$$
- x-intercept: Set $ y = 0 $:
$$
0 = -\frac{3}{2}x + 3 \Rightarrow \frac{3}{2}x = 3 \Rightarrow x = 2 \Rightarrow (2, 0)
$$
- y-intercept: Set $ x = 0 $:
$$
y = 3 \Rightarrow (0, 3)
$$
- Slope: $-\frac{3}{2}$
In your image:
- x-intercept: (6, 0) → ✘ Should be (2, 0)
- y-intercept: (0, 3) → ✔
- slope: blank → should be $-\frac{3}{2}$
✘ x-intercept wrong
✘ slope missing
