Question 1098333: 1. A line has vertical intercept 6 and slope -2. What is its horizontal intercept?
(x, y) = ( , ) ( , )
2. Write the equation of the line with the given slope and y-intercept.
Slope = -2/9; ( y-intercept = (0,1))
3. Find the slope and y-intercept for a line with the following characteristics: Parallel to the line -3x + 4y = 8 and passing through (8, -2).
Slope= ____
y-intercept= ______
4. Write the equation of the line passing through the two points.
((-6,-10) and (3,-1))
___ x + ____
5. Find the equation for the line with the following criteria
(you should be able to do this without your calculator; if you use decimals, round to at least three places):

#1:
y=-2x%2B6, according to description;
-2x%2B6=0
-2x=-6
highlight%28x=-3%29-------------horizontal axis intercept

#2:
Plug into formula according to description.
highlight%28y=-%282%2F9%29x%2B1%29, corresponding to y=mx%2Bb.
