Linear Equations and Graphs: Solving Problems Involving Slope, Intercepts, and Systems - P, Exams of Mathematics

A collection of linear equation problems from a spring 2009 exam for the course mat 1101. Students are required to simplify equations, find intercepts, determine slopes, and graph lines. Problems include finding the equations of lines passing through specific points and having a given slope, as well as solving systems of linear equations.
