$A number line labeled x with arrows on each end, labeled from negative three to four, in increments of one. There is an open circle at three. A dark line is orginating from this circle and heading towards the left of three.$

Exercise $\PageIndex{2}$

$−8<x+6≤−4$

Answer

$−14<x≤−10$

$A number line labeled x with arrows on each end, labeled at negative fourteen and negative ten. There is a closed circle at negative ten and an open circle at negative fourteen. These circles are connected by a black line$

Exercise $\PageIndex{3}$

Plot the ordered pairs $(3, 1),(−2, 4),(0, 5),(−2, −2)$ .

Answer: slope-intercept

Exercise $\PageIndex{8}$

If an ordered pair is a solution to a linear equation in two variables, where does it lie geometrically?

Answer: It lies on the line.

Exercise $\PageIndex{9}$

Consider the graph of $y=\dfrac{2}{7}x+16$ . If we were to place our pencil at any point on the line and then move it horizontally $7$ units to the right, how many units and in what direction would we have to move our pencil to get back on the line?

Answer: $2$ units up
