Problems:

  1. Equation: y=23x+1y = \frac{2}{3}x + 1

    • Slope (mm): The coefficient of xx is 23\frac{2}{3}.
    • Y-intercept (bb): The constant term is 11.

    Answers:

    • 28: The slope is 23\frac{2}{3}.
    • 29: The y-intercept is 11.
  2. Equation: y=3x2y = -3x - 2

    • Slope (mm): The coefficient of xx is 3-3.
    • Y-intercept (bb): The constant term is 2-2.

    Answers:

    • 31: The slope is 3-3.
    • 32: The y-intercept is 2-2.

Problem:

  1. Equation: y=43x+1y = -\frac{4}{3}x + 1

    • Slope (mm): The coefficient of xx is 43-\frac{4}{3}.
    • Y-intercept (bb): The constant term is 11.

    Answers:

    • 25: The slope is 43-\frac{4}{3}.
    • 26: The y-intercept is 11.

Would you like me to explain how to plot these equations on the provided graphs or go further into the slope-intercept form concept?

  1. How do you find the slope from a graph instead of an equation?
  2. How can you tell if a line is increasing or decreasing based on its slope?
  3. What does the y-intercept represent in a real-world context?
  4. How would the graph change if the slope or intercept were negative?
  5. How can you rewrite an equation in standard form to slope-intercept form?

Tip:

The slope tells you how steep the line is and whether it’s going up (positive slope) or down (negative slope) as you move to the right on the graph.
