2. Find the 26th term of the arithmetic sequence 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, …

Intercepts

1. Find the x- and y-intercepts and use them to graph each function.

-2x - 3y = 12

x-intercept _______
y-intercept _______
Linear Equations:

Graph the following lines.

1. y = 5 – 5x

2. 2x – 6y = -18

3. ½ x -4y = -12

Identify the slope and the y-intercept of the following lines. Use this information to graph the
lines in the odd-numbered problems. Each graph must contain at least 3 points.

1. y = -1/3 x + 7 2. 4y + 6 = -5x

3. 2x – 8y = -32 4. 3x – 6y = 15

5. 7y = -3x – 14 6. –x = 5y + 8
