Writing Linear Equations

What is an equation for the line that passes through the coordinates (2,7) and (0, 1)?

• y = 3x + 1
• y = 1x + 3
• y = x - 3
• y = -x + 3

What is an equation for the line that passes through the coordinates (2,0) and (0,3) ?

• y = (-1/2)x + 3
• y = 3x - (1/2)
• y = 2x + 3
• y = 3x - 2

What is an equation for the line that passes that passes through the points (1,1) and (3,5)?

• y = x + 2
• y = 1x -2
• y = 2x + 1
• y = 2x - 1

Write the equation of a line that contains the point (3, 5) and has a slope of 3 in slope-intercept form.

• y = 3x - 4
• y = 3x+9

• y = 3x + 14
• y = 3x + 4
