Describe how you would graph the following equation. y = 1/3x + 4

Graph should start with the point at (0, 4) Movement should be 1 up and 3 to the right continuing to another point. 

300
Rewrite this equation in slope-intercept form. x + y = -12
y = -x - 12
300

What is the slope of this equation?

Write an equation for a line with the following slope and points.

 m = 2/3   and (0, -2),  (3, 0)

y = 2/3x - 2

400
Find the slope of the line that includes the following points. (4, -5) (-4, 5)
-10/8 which simplifies to -5/4
400

Describe how you would graph the following equation. 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

How do you make a table of values for the following equation. y = 1/2x -5 

Table should list four numbers chosen for x and then solve for y by multiplying by 1/2 and subtracting 5. 

500
Rewrite the following equation in slope-intercept form. 3.5x - 7y = -21
-7y = -3.5x + 21 y = 0.5x - 3 or y = 1/2x - 3
