From the table, the y-intercept is –9.
Substitute m = 3 and b = –9 into y = mx + b:
y = mx + b
= 3x – 9
The equation of the line is y = 3x – 9.

The line must also have slope 3. Substitute the slope and the coordinates of the point (3, –1) into the equation y
= mx + b and solve for b:
y = mx + b
–1 = (3)(3) + b
–1 = 9 + b
–1 – 9 = 9 + b – 9
–10 = b
The equation of the line is y = 3x – 10.

–1 = 1 + b
–1 – 1 = 1 + b – 1
–2 = b

The line must have slope 2. Identify the x-intercept of 3x – 4y = 12.
Substitute y = 0:
3x – 4y = 12
3x – 4(0) = 12
3x = 12

The point (4, 0) is on the line. Substitute the slope and this point into y = mx + b:
y = mx + b
0 = (2)(4) + b
0=8+b
0–8=8+b–8
–8 = b
The equation of the line is y = 2x – 8.
33. B
The line represented by the equation y = 4x + 8 is parallel to line A because they both have slope 4.
34. C
Line A has slope 2. Lines C and D have slope 2, which is the same as that of line A. Line B has slope –2. So,
Lines C and D are parallel to line A.
35. C
Line T has a slope of 5, while line U has a slope of 4. Because line T has a greater slope, it is steeper than line
U.
