Given the equation 6y = 3x − 18, Natalie believes that the slope is 6y = 3x − 18


3 and the y-intercept is -18. Explain Natalie’s error below and show
work in the box at the right to find the correct slope and
y-intercept.

slope: ____ y-int: _____

Find the slope and the y-intercept for each of the linear equations in 1-3.
1. 2. 3.
-2y = 9x + 24 y = 7 + 3(3x − 4) 1
y − 4 = -2(x − 8)

slope: ____ y-int: _____ slope: ____ y-int: _____ slope: ____ y-int: _____

4. Write an equation of the graphed line below in slope-intercept form. ______________________


Next, circle the name(s) of any student below who wrote an equation
that also matches the graphed line.

-3y = -12x − 18 y = -2 + 2(2x − 3) 1


y − 3 = 3 (9 + 12x)
