Read each question carefully and follow the instructions. This worksheet will help you practice matching linear equations to their graphs.

Match each linear equation on the left with its corresponding graph on the right. Write the letter of the correct graph in the blank space.

1. y = 2x + 1

2. y = -x + 3

3. y = (1/2)x - 2

4. Which equation best represents the line shown in the graph below?

y = x + 2

y = 2x - 1

y = -x + 2

y = -2x - 1

Complete the statements below regarding linear equations and their graphs.

5. In the equation y = mx + b, 'm' represents the of the line, and 'b' represents the .

6. A line with a positive slope will go from left to right on a graph.

7. Describe how you can quickly identify the y-intercept of a line from its graph.
