Can someone help me check my answers to Linear Equations?

Thanks for your help, here is my answer, I am not good with Equations and I need help, appreciate it

Q2.Compute the slopes of the line

L1 (2,3);(1,0) = answer – m=3

L2 (1,2);(3,4) – answer m=1

L3 (-2,3); (2,1) – answer m = -1/2

Find an equation of the line

Q1 slope = 3 ; containing the point (-3,4)

answer y=3x +13

Q2 slope = -3 ; y-intercept = (0,-2)

answer y=-3x -2

Q3 slope = -4 ; x-intercept = (2,0)

answer y= -4x +6

Q4 containing the points (-3,4) and (2,5)

answer y-y1 = m(x-x1)

5-4 = m(2-(-3))

1 = m(2+3)

1=m(5)

m=1/5

Please teach if I made a mistake, I just want to be correct.

Appreciate everyone’s help.

L1,L2,L3,Q1,Q2 all look ok

Q3 should start with y-0=-4(x-2)

y=-4x+8

Q4 has the slope right, but you didn’t go back to the formula to find the equation: y-4=(1/5)(x-(-3)) and solve for whatever form your teacher wants.

For most of the questions, you had the right answer, but you just made simple mistakes like everyone does from time to time.

Q1.) m=3, point =(-3,4). (y-4)=3(x-3) => y-4=3x-9 => y=3x-9+4 => y=3x-5

The only thing you did wrong is that you added positive 9 and 4, instead of adding negative 9 and 4.

Q3.) m=-4; point = (2,0). (y- 0)= -4(x-2) => y= -4(x) + -4(-2) => y=-4x+8

I think you multiplied the negatives (of -4 and -2), then added the numbers, so you got +6 instead of -8.

Hope that helps.
