2. slope = 0.5, y -intercept = 3.5
3. slope = 5, y -intercept = − 1
4. slope = − 2, y -intercept = 2
Example 2: Write the equation that describes each line in slope-intercept form. 5. slope = 8, y -intercept = 2 6. = y slope

7. slope = 0, y -intercept = − 3
8. slope = 5, the point (2, 7) is on the line
Example 3: Write each equation in slope-intercept form. Then graph the line described by the equation. 9. = − y x 6 10. 2 x − y = − 1 11. 2 x + y = 4
