See attached file for full problem description.

Find the slope and y-intercept of the line represented by each of the following equations.

12.
Or 3Y = 2X - 6
Or Y = (2/3) X - 2
Slope = 2/3
y-intercept = -2

Write the equation of the line with given slope and y-intercept. Then graph each line using the slope and y-intercept.

16. Slope: -2; y-intercept: (0, 4)
y = -2x + 4
At x = 1, y = 2
At x = 0, y = 4

In exercises 25 to 32, match the graph with one of the following equations.

(a) y= 2x (b) y= x + 1 (c) y= -x + 3 (d) y = 2x + 1
(e) y=-3x - 2 (f ) y= + 1 (g) y=- (h) y = -4x
26. Since the line cuts the y-axis below the origin, the y-intercept will be negative. There is only one option with a negative y-intercept, which is (e)

(e) y=-3x - 2 (f ) y= + 1 (g) y=- (h) y = -4x

30. b is the correct answer because the line cuts the y-axis at 1 (y-intercept = 1) and the slope is about 450 (m = 1)

(e) y=-3x - 2 (f ) y= + 1 (g) y=- (h) y = -4x

32. a is the correct answer because the line passes through the origin (so the y-intercept is zero) and the slope is positive and more than 1.
