Linear Equations and Lines

C. Make a table for each equation with at least 3 ordered pairs.(remember that you get to select one entry in each row as shown in the tables above) then graph the line.23. x – y = 3 24. 2x = 6 25. –y – 7= 0

26. 0 = 8 – 2x 27. y = –x + 4 28. 2x – 3 = 6

29. 2x = 6 – 2y 30. 4y – 12 = 3x 31. 2x + 3y = 3

32. –6 = 3x – 2y 33.

35. For problems 29, 30, 31 and 32, use the intercept-tables as shown to graph the lines.

36. Why can’t we use the above intercept method to graph the lines for problems 25, 26 or 33?37. By inspection identify which equations givehorizontal lines, which give vertical lines and which give tilted lines.
