Fill in the Blanks

Multiple Choice

What would you do to $2x+y=7$  to get y by itself/solve for y?

• subtract 7 to both sides of the equation

• divide by 2 to the entire equation

• subtract y to both sides of the equation

• add 2x to both sides of the equation

• subtract 2x to both sides of the equation

Multiple Choice

Is  $y=-2x+7$   the same as  $y=7-2x$  ?

• YES

• NO

Rewriting into Slope-Intercept Form

• Subtract 2x

•  $y=7-2x$   is the same as  $y=-2x+7$  

• Slope = -2

• y-intercept = (0, 7)

Multiple Select

What would be your first step to "solve for y" for the equation:

 $5x+3y=3$  

• add 5x

• subtract 5x

• divide by 5

• combine 5x & 3y

• subtract 3

Rewriting into Slope-Intercept Form

• Subtract 5x

• Placing -5x in front of 3 sets up "general form of Slope-Intercept Form"

• Divide entire equation by 3

• Slope =  $-\frac{5}{3}$  
  

• y-intercept = (0, 1)

Multiple Select

What would be the first step to solve $x-2y=-4$  for y/get the equation into SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM?

• Subtract x on both sides to get: $-2y=-4-x$  

• Add 2y on both sides to get: $x=-4+2y$  

• Subtract x on both sides to get: $2y=-x-4$  

• Add x on both sides to get: $-2y=x-4$  

• Divide by 2 on both sides to get:
   $x-y=-2$ 

Rewriting into Slope-Intercept Form

• Subtract x

• Placing -x in front of -4 sets up "general form of Slope-Intercept Form"

• Divide entire equation by -2

• Slope =  $\frac{1}{2}$  
  

• y-intercept = (0, 2)

Example G - avoid forgetting negative in front of y

• Add 2y - now coefficient of y is POSITIVE!

• Add 4

• Divide entire equation by 2

• Slope =  $\frac{1}{2}$ 

• y-intercept = (0, 2)

• Different journey, same destination!
