Practice for Linear Equations/Inequalities Test Name:

1) Does the point ( 4, -2 ) belong to the graph of 3 x  y  5 ? Explain.

1
2) Write an equation of the line whose slope = and which passes through the point (6,-2).
2

3) Write an equation of a line that passes through the points (4, -2) and (-1, 8)

4) Write an equation of a line which is parallel to 2 y  8 x  1 and has a y-intercept of 7.

5) Graph the following:

2 3
a) y  x7 b) y  x4
5 2

slope = slope =

y-int = y-int =

c) y  2 d) x  1
slope = slope =

y-int = y-int =

6) State in each case whether the

lines are parallel,
perpendicular, or neither.

a) y = 3x + 2, y = 3x – 5 b) y = -2x – 6, y = 2x + 6

c) y = 4x – 8, 16y + 4x = 3 d) y = 2x, 2y – 4x = 9

e) x = 6, y = -2
7) Use the data in the table to answer the questions.
Data was collected to determine if there is a correlation between a person’s height and weight.

a. Create a scatter plot.

Height Weight
71” 205
68” 189
74” 220
65” 160
70” 195
59” 137
63” 160
61” 145

b. Find the line of best fit. Round all coefficients to the nearest tenth.

c. Does this data show a correlation between a person’s height and weight? If so, is it positive or
negative?

d. Using the line of best fit, how much do you think someone who is 66” tall weighs? (1 point)

e. Using the line of best fit, how much do you think someone who is 78” tall weighs? (1 point)
