Answer Key 3.4
For questions 1 to 10, sketch the linear equation using the slope intercept method.
- \(y = -\dfrac{1}{4}x - 3\)

- \(y = \dfrac{3}{2}x - 1\)

- \(y = -\dfrac{5}{4}x - 4\)

- \(y = -\dfrac{3}{5}x + 1\)

- \(y = -\dfrac{4}{3}x + 2\)

- \(y = \dfrac{5}{3}x + 4\)

- \(y = \dfrac{3}{2}x - 5\)

- \(y = -\dfrac{2}{3}x - 2\)

- \(y = -\dfrac{4}{5}x - 3\)

- \(y = \dfrac{1}{2}x\)

For questions 11 to 20, sketch the linear equation using the \(x\) and \(y\) intercepts.
- \(x + 4y = -4\)

- \(2x - y = 2\)

- \(2x + y = 4\)

- \(3x + 4y = 12\)

- \(2x - y = 2\)

- \(4x + 3y = -12\)

- \(x + y = -5\)

- \(3x + 2y = 6\)

- \(x - y = -2\)

- \(4x - y = -4\)

For questions 21 to 28, sketch the linear equation using any method.
- \(y = -\dfrac{1}{2}x + 3\)

- \(y = 2x - 1\)

- \(y = -\dfrac{5}{4}x\)

- \(y = -3x + 2\)

- \(y = -\dfrac{3}{2}x + 1\)

- \(y = \dfrac{1}{3}x - 3\)

- \(y = \dfrac{3}{2}x + 2\)

- \(y = 2x - 2\)
