Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the

given points.

7. (−1, 3) and (−3, 1) 8. (−4, 8) and (4, 6) 9. (9, 2) and (−3, −2)

10. Zachary purchased a computer for $1,800 on a payment plan. Three months

after he purchased the computer, his balance was $1,350. Five months after

he purchased the computer, his balance was $1,050. What is an equation that

models the balance B after m months?

11. What does the slope signify in this equation and why?

y = 2x + 1

y = x + 4 y = −__

B = −150m + 1800

In the equation B = −150m + 1800, the slope signifies the

monthly payment amount because the balance decreases by

$150 each month.

$150
