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

# 1
Start with the first equation.


Subtract from both sides.


Divide both sides by to isolate .


Simplify.


So the equation is now in slope intercept form where the slope is and the y-intercept is , which is the point (0,-12).



--------------------------------------------------


Start with the second equation.


Subtract from both sides.


Divide both sides by to isolate .


Simplify.


So the equation is now in slope intercept form where the slope is and the y-intercept is , which is the point .
