1. The following equations when graphed will contain the sides of a polygon. Without graphing the lines, make a prediction about what kind of figure the lines will create. Support your prediction with information you know from the given equations. y = 1/2x + 3 y = 1/2x – 2 y = 2x + 1 y = 2x – 3

the slope of the first function is -3. (3/1)

the slope of the second function is 1. (13-10/6-3).

since |-3| is greater than |1|, the function with the steepest slope is the first.

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1

see the picture for the graph.

y + 11 = (1/4)(x + 16)
