2.4 Writing Linear Equations Practice

This document contains practice problems for writing linear equations in slope-intercept form based on given conditions such as slope, intercepts, being parallel or perpendicular to other lines, and real world contexts. Equations are provided as answers to writing equations based on graphs, lines satisfying sets of conditions involving slope and points, and modeling a real world situation about water levels dropping at a steady rate each day.

19. RESERVOIRS The surface of Grand Lake is at an elevation of 648 feet. During the current drought, the water level
is dropping at a rate of 3 inches per day. If this trend continues, write an equation that gives the elevation in feet of the
surface of Grand Lake after x days. y= -3x + 648
