I'll do the first two to get you started.

# 1

Start with the given equation.

Add to both sides.

Subtract from both sides.

Combine like terms on the right side.

Divide both sides by to isolate .

Break up the fraction.

Now the equation is in slope intercept form where the slope is and the y-intercept is

# 2

Since the equation x=-9 is not in slope intercept form, this means that the slope is undefined and there is no y-intercept (the line is parallel to the y-axis).
