### Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 4 Lesson 19 Opening Exercise Answer Key

Examine each of the graphs and their equations. Identify the coordinates of the point where the line intersects the y-axis. Describe the relationship between the point and the equation y=mx+b.
a. y=$$\frac{1}{2}$$ x+3

b. y=-3x+7

c. y=-$$\frac{2}{3}$$ x-2

d. y=5x-4

A point is noted in each graph above where the line intersects the y-axis:
y=$$\frac{1}{2}$$ x+3, (0,3)
y=-3x+7, (0,7)
y=-$$\frac{2}{3}$$ x-2, (0,-2)
y=5x-4, (0,-4)
In each equation, the number b was the y-coordinate of the point where the line intersected the y-axis.

### Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 4 Lesson 19 Example Answer Key

Graph an equation in the form of y=mx+b.

Example 1.
Graph the equation y=$$\frac{2}{3}$$ x+1. Name the slope and y-intercept point.
The slope is m=$$\frac{2}{3}$$, and the y-intercept point is (0,1).

→ To graph the equation, we must begin with the known point. In this case, that is the y-intercept point. We cannot begin with the slope because the slope describes the rate of change between two points. That means we need a point to begin with. On a graph, we plot the point (0,1).

→ Next, we use the slope to find the second point. We know that m=$$\frac{|Q R|}{|P Q|}$$ =$$\frac{2}{3}$$. The slope tells us exactly how many units to go to the right of P to find point Q and then how many vertical units we need to go from Q to find point R. How many units will we go to the right in order to find point Q? How do you know?
→ We need to go 3 units to the right of point P to find Q. We go 3 units because |PQ|=3.

→ How many vertical units from point Q must we go to find point R? How do you know?
→ We need to go 2 units from point Q to find R. We go 2 units because |QR|=2.
→ Will we go up from point Q or down from point Q to find R? How do you know?
→ We need to go up because the slope is positive. That means that the line will be left-to-right inclining.

→ Since we know that the line joining two distinct points of the form y=mx+b has slope m, and we specifically constructed points P and R with the slope in mind, we can join the points with a line.

Example 2.
Graph the equation y=-$$\frac{3}{4}$$ x-2. Name the slope and y-intercept point.
The slope is m=-$$\frac{3}{4}$$, and the y-intercept point is (0,-2).

→ How do we begin?
→ We must begin by putting a known point on the graph, (0,-2).

→ We know that m=$$\frac{|Q R|}{|P Q|}$$ =-$$\frac{3}{4}$$. How many units will we go to the right in order to find point Q? How do you know?
→ We need to go 4 units to the right of point P to find Q. We go 4 units because |PQ|=4.

→ How many units from point Q must we go to find point R? How do you know?
→ We need to go 3 units from point Q to find R. We go 3 units because |QR|=3.
→ Will we go up from point Q or down from point Q to find R? How do you know?
→ We need to go down from point Q to point R because the slope is negative. That means that the line will be left-to-right declining.

→ Now we draw the line through the points P and R.

Example 3
Graph the equation y=4x-7. Name the slope and y-intercept point.
The slope is m=4, and the y-intercept point is (0,-7).

→ Graph the equation y=4x-7. Name the slope and y-intercept point.
→ The slope is m=4, and the y-intercept point is (0,-7).
→ How do we begin?
→ We must begin by putting a known point on the graph, (0,-7).

→ Notice this time that the slope is the integer 4. In the last two examples, our slopes have been in the form of a fraction so that we can use the information in the numerator and denominator to determine the lengths of |PQ| and |QR|. Since m=$$\frac{|Q R|}{|P Q|}$$ =4, what fraction can we use to represent slope to help us graph?
→ The number 4 is equivalent to the fraction $$\frac{4}{1}$$.
→ Using m=$$\frac{|Q R|}{|P Q|}$$ =$$\frac{4}{1}$$, how many units will we go to the right in order to find point Q? How do you know?
→ We need to go 1 unit to the right of point P to find Q. We go 1 unit because |PQ|=1.

→ How many vertical units from point Q must we go to find point R? How do you know?
→ We need to go 4 units from point Q to find R. We go 4 units because |QR|=4.
→ Will we go up from point Q or down from point Q to find R? How do you know?
→ We need to go up from point Q to point R because the slope is positive. That means that the line will be left-to-right inclining.

→ Now we join the points P and R to make the line.

Exercises 5–6
Students complete Exercises 5–6 individually or in pairs.

Exercise 5.
A bank put $10 into a savings account when you opened the account. Eight weeks later, you have a total of$24. Assume you saved the same amount every week.
a. If y is the total amount of money in the savings account and x represents the number of weeks, write an equation in the form y=mx+b that describes the situation.
24=m(8)+10
14=8m
$$\frac{14}{8}$$=m
$$\frac{7}{4}$$=m
y=$$\frac{7}{4}$$ x+10

b. Identify the slope and the y-intercept point. What do these numbers represent?
The slope is $$\frac{7}{4}$$, and the y-intercept point is (0,10). The y-intercept point represents the amount of money the bank gave me, in the amount of $10. The slope represents the amount of money I save each week, $$\frac{7}{4}$$=$1.75.

c. Graph the equation on a coordinate plane.

d. Could any other line represent this situation? For example, could a line through point (0,10) with slope $$\frac{7}{5}$$ represent the amount of money you save each week? Explain.
No, a line through point (0,10) with slope $$\frac{7}{5}$$ cannot represent this situation. That line would show that at the end of the 8 weeks I would have $21.20, but I was told that I would have$24 by the end of the 8 weeks.

Exercise 6.
A group of friends are on a road trip. After 120 miles, they stop to eat lunch. They continue their trip and drive at a constant rate of 50 miles per hour.
a. Let y represent the total distance traveled, and let x represent the number of hours driven after lunch. Write an equation to represent the total number of miles driven that day.
y=50x+120

b. Identify the slope and the y-intercept point. What do these numbers represent?
The slope is 50 and represents the rate of driving. The y-intercept point is 120 and represents the number of miles they had already driven before driving at the given constant rate.

c. Graph the equation on a coordinate plane.

d. Could any other line represent this situation? For example, could a line through point (0,120) with slope 75 represent the total distance the friends drive? Explain.
No, a line through point (0,120) with a slope of 75 could not represent this situation. That line would show that after an hour, the friends traveled a total distance of 195 miles. According to the information given, the friends would only have traveled 170 miles after one hour.
