Study the following graph and respond to the questions provided to check that you understood the math lab work.

This shows the graph of a line that passes through (0, 3) and (-1.5, 0).

y = 2x + 3

y−y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y − 3 = 2(x - 0)

y − 3 = 2x

2x − y + 3 = 0

1. Do the three equations shown in above represent the same relationship? Explain.

2. How could you get one equation from question 1 to look the same as one of the other equations? Choose two equations, and show the steps you would use to convert one into the other.
