necessary.
Determine if the given point is a solution to the equation. Show your work.
1. (2 points) Is (3, 5) a solution to the equation 𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 1?
!"
2. (2 points) Is (-2, 4) a solution to 𝑦 = #
𝑥 + 3?
Graph the equation by choosing at least three points, plotting them, and drawing
the line. Label your points clearly.
!"
3. (2 points) Graph 𝑦 = #
𝑥 +4
