1. Graph this equation.
y = 3/2x +1
2. Determine whether each pair of equations represents parallel lines.
y = -5/4 +1,
y = 5/4x +3
3. Solve using the substitution method. Show your work. If the system has no solution or an infinite number of solutions, state this.
x + 8y = 8
9x - 5y = -5
4. Translate the problem into a pair of linear equations in two variables. Solve the equations using either elimination or substitution. State your answer for both variables.
