Graphing: Consider the graph of the equation below.

3x+y=6

What are the intercepts of graph of the equation? Select all that apply.

Graph the equation. Be sure to include relevant graph detail: label axes, indicate units and scale on both axes, and use arrows to represent end behavior, as appropriate.

Vocabulary: Tell whether the equation is in slope-intercept, point-slope, or standard form.
y + 2 = -2(x - 1)

Vocabulary: Tell whether the equation is in slope-intercept, point-slope, or standard form.
y = -\frac{1}{4}x + 9

Vocabulary: Tell whether the equation is in slope-intercept, point-slope, or standard form.
-x - 2y = 1

Vocabulary: Tell whether the equation is in slope-intercept, point-slope, or standard form.
y - 3 = 4x

Understanding: Which form would you use to write the equation of a line if you knew its slope and x-intercept? Explain.


Understanding: If the intercepts of a line are (a, 0) and (0, b), what is the slope of the line? Assume that a and b are both greater than 0.

Enter only the slope, in simplified fraction form. The fraction will include a and b.

Error Analysis: Your friend says the line y = -2x + 3 is perpendicular to the line x + 2y = 8. Do you agree? Explain.
