Slope Intercept Form Equation of a Line

Find the slope and y intercept from each linear equation.

1. $y=-3x+9$

2. $y=\dfrac{-2}{3}x-7$

3. $y=8+\dfrac{x}{-3}$

4. $y=\dfrac{18+2x}{4}$

5. $y=7$

6. $x=-5$

Write each linear equation in slope-intercept form

7. slope = $3$, y-intercept = $-5$

8. slope = $\dfrac{-3}{8}$, y-intercept = $9$ 

9. slope = $\dfrac{-2}{7}$, y-intercept = $0$ 

10.  $m=0$, $b=-2$

11. $m=\dfrac{1}{8}$, $b=7$

Rearrange the equations into slope-intercept form.
