Find the slope of the line that includes the following points. (4, -5) (-4, 5)
-10/8 which simplifies to -5/4
400
Graph the following equation. Include at least three points. y = -2
Graph should begin with a point on the y-axis at -2. A horizontal line should be drawn through -2 extending on both sides of the y-axis.
400
Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form. 3x + 6y = -18
y = -1/2x - 3
400

Graph the following equation. 8x + 4y = 16

Write an equation for a line in slope intercept form with the following two points. (15, -10) (5, 10)

y = -2x + 20

500
Find the slope of the line that includes the following points. (-12, -9) (-3, -3)
-6/-9 = 6/9 = 2/3

Make a table of values with at least 4 ordered pairs for the following equation. y = 1/2x -5 Then plot the ordered pairs. Draw a line through the points.
Table should list four numbers chosen for x and then solved by multiplying by 1/2 and subtracting 5. If x is 2 then If x is 4 then 1/2(2) = 1 - 5 1/2(4) = 2 - 5 then y = -4 then y = -3
