Connect to Vocabulary A linear equation is an equation whose solutions form a straight line on a coordinate plane.
E. Use the graph to predict the number of carvings sold after being in business for 10 months. _______________ F. Use the equation to predict the number of months needed for Don to sell 30 carvings online. _______________
Turn and Talk A line is modeled by the equation y = mx. Explain how the value of m affects the graph of the line. Answer: We have the slope-intercept form of a straight line given by y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. If b = 0 then y = mx

Question 1. The Nguyen family is traveling cross-country, driving 300 miles each day. Let x represent the number of days in the trip and let y represent the total number of miles driven. Write an equation to model their trip. Answer: Given, The Nguyen family is traveling cross-country, driving 300 miles each day. Let x represent the number of days in the trip and let y represent the total number of miles driven. y = 300x Thus the equation to model their trip is y = 300x
Question 2. Write the equation for the line passing through points (0, 0), (4, 5), and (8, 10). Answer: From the coordinate, (0, 0), we can conclude that the y-intercept of the line is 0. (4, 5) and (8, 10) Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) m = (10 – 5)/(8 – 4) m = 5/4 Thus the equation of the line is y = 5/4x

Question 1. Sean tutors math students to earn extra money.
A. How much would Sean earn from 4 hours of tutoring? ______________________________ ______________________________ Answer: Sean earn $20 per hour 4 hours = 4 × 20 = $80
B. Write an equation to model Sean’s earnings, y, after x hours. ______________________________ Answer: y = 20x where x represents number of hours and y represents earnings.
Question 2. Attend to Precision An inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters. Write an equation to convert the number of inches x to the corresponding length in centimeters. Answer: Given, An inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters. 1 cm = 0.39 inch y = 2.54x
Question 3. Write an equation of the line passing through the points (-5, -25), (0, 0), and (3, 15). Answer: (-5, -25), (0, 0), and (3, 15) -25 = m(-5) + b ⇒ 5m – b = 25 0 = m(0) + b ⇒ b = 0 5m – 0 = 25 5m = 25 m = 5 5m – b = 25 5(5) – b = 25 25 – b = 25 25 – 25 = b b = 0 y = mx + b y = 5x + 0 y = 5x
Question 4. Math on the Spot The graph shows the distance Caleb runs over time. A. Identify four points on the line. _______________________ Answer: Four points on the line are (0, 0), (8, 1), (16, 2) and (24, 3)
B. Determine the slope of the line. _______________________ Answer: 8 min = 1 mile 1 min = 1/8 mile y = kx k = 1/8 So, the slope of the line is 1/8.
C. Write an equation of the line. _______________________ Answer: If y = kx + b k = 1/8 and b = 0 Thus the equation of the line is y = 1/8 x
Question 7. What is the equation of the line passing through the points (-2, 5), (0, 0), and (4, -10)? A. y = –\(\frac{5}{2}\)x B. y = –\(\frac{2}{5}\)x C. y = \(\frac{2}{5}\)x D. y = \(\frac{5}{2}\)x Answer: Given points (-2, 5), (0, 0), and (4, -10) -2m + b = 5 m(0) + b = 0 b = 0 5 = -2m m = -5/2 y = -5/2x Thus option A is the correct answer.
