g. What is the y-intercept? What does it mean in the context of the problem?

h. What is the slope of the equation and what does it mean in the context of the problem?

i. Transform the equation 12x + 8y = 960 into slope-intercept form (�� = �� + ��). Check

to see that your answer in part (g) and (h) is the same slope and y-intercept in part (i).

2. Graph the linear functions in standard form by finding the x and y intercepts. Then find the

slope and write the equation in slope-intercept form.

a. Given 3x + 2y = 12, find both intercepts and the slope. Then draw the graph.

x-intercept:

y-intercept:

Slope:

b. Write 3x + 2y = 12 in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b.

c. From the slope-intercept form of the equation, the slope is _____ and the y-intercept is

_______. Check to see that the results agree with your answers in part (a).
