1. Find the y-intercept of the line.


y = 8x + 468
Solution: The equation is written in the slope- y-intercept form, which is y= mx + b,
where m represents the slope and b is the y-intercept. In our equation, y = 8x + 468, the
y-intercept is 468.
Answer: 468

2. Graph the line.


y=−12x+3
Solution: First solve for x and y by choosing a value for x to solve for y.

y
0 3
1 -9
2 -21
3 -33

Now that we have values for x, you can now solve for y.
Solution:
Y = - 12x + 3 y = -12 x + 3 y=-12x + 3 y= -12x + 3
Y= -12 (0) + 3 y= -12 (1) + 3 y= -12 (2) + 3 y= -12 (3) + 3
Y= 0 + 3 y= -12 + 3 y= - 24 + 3 y= -36 + 3
Y= 3 y= -9 y= -21 y= -33
Now that you have values for x and y, you can now graph the line.

3. Find the y-intercept of the line by substituting 0 in for x and solving for y.
y = -5x -10
Solution: substitute 0 in for x
Y = -5 (0) – 10
Y= 0 -10
Y= -10

4. Find the y-intercept of the line by substituting 0 in for x and solving for y.
y -12 = 4x
Solution: The slope y-intercept is y=mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
y-12 = 4x
y = 4x + 12
Answer: 12 is the y-intercept.

5. Find the y-intercept of the line by substituting 0 in for x and solving for y.
-3x + 6y = 24
Solution:
-3(0) + 6y = 24
0 + 6y = 24
6y = 24
y= 24/6
y=4

6. Find the x-intercept of the line by substituting 0 in for y and solving for x.
y = 5x + 10
Solution:
Y = 5x + 10
0= 5x+10
-10= 5x
-10/5 = x
X = -2
7. Find the x-intercept of the line by substituting 0 in for y and solving for x.
y + 8 = 4x
Solution:
Y + 8 = 4x
0 + 8 = 4x
8/-4 = x
X = -2
8. Find the x-intercept of the line by substituting 0 in for y and solving for x.
x -4y = -4
Solution:
x – 4y = -4
x – 4(0) = -4
x – 0 = -4
x= -4
9. Find the slope of the line that contains the points (8, 3) and (15, -18).
Solution:
The formula for Slope: m = (y2 - y1)/ (x2 - x1) 
m = (-18 – 3)/ (15 – 8)
m = -21/7
m = -3

10. Find the slope of the line that contains the points (-7, -8) and (-10, 1).
Solution:
The formula for Slope: m = (y2 - y1)/ (x2 - x1) 
m = (1- -8) / (-10 - -7)
m = 9/-3
m = -3

12. Change the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form.


y - 6 = -2x
Solution: The equation is written in the slope- y-intercept form, which is y= mx + b,
Answer: y= -2x + 6
13. Change the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form.
y+1/4=1/4x

Answer: y= x–
4 4

14. Change the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form.


x=(y−9)/−3
Solution: slope-intercept form y= mx + b
3x = y - 9
Answer: y = 3x +9
