M. Riling H Alg 2 Beginning of the Year Assessment

A. Linear Systems
1. Write two equations that have graphs that intersect at (4, 7).




2. What point would be on the graphs of both these lines?


2x + 3y = 17
8x y = 2








3. Write three lines equations that intersect at one point.





B. Order of Operations
1. Express the numbers 6, 7, and 8 as expressions that have four 8s in them. You can
also use the number 88, and you can use any other number as an exponent.
example:

4 =8 8 8+8

example:

2 =88
0
+88
0











C. Simplify and Evaluate

F. Find the equation of the line
1. Write an equation for the line containing the points (4, 7) and (6, 2).





2. Write an equation perpendicular to

y =2x +1 that passes through (5, 3).





G. Graph the line
1. Graph your lines from part F. 2. Graph

y = x 1 ( )
