(a) y 16x+64 Here m = 16, b = 64. Substituting in (2.7). (b) y 18x-9 With m 18, b = -9, from (2.7), (c) y 15x+120 = Here m 15, b = 120, and (d) y 5x 125 With m 5, b = -125, 64 X=- 16 x=-4 x=- 18 x = -12 120 x intercept: (-4,0) x intercept: (0) x=- 15 x=-8 x intercept: (-8, 0) x=-(5) x=25 x intercept: (25,0) (e) 18x+5y = 54 If the equation is not in the slope-intercept form, find the slope-intercept form or simply substitute 0 for y. 18x+5(0)=54 x=3 x intercept: (3,0)
