Answer Key - Grade 9 Math Worksheet - Building Confidence

Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.

1. 1.

   The line is 2x + y = 9. Ren rewrites 2x + y = 9 by taking 2x from both sides: y = 9 − 2x. What is the rule in y = mx + b form?

   y = -2x + 9
2. 2.

   The line is 4x + y = 9. Zee rewrites 4x + y = 9 by taking 4x from both sides: y = 9 − 4x. What is the rule in y = mx + b form?

   y = -4x + 9
3. 3.

   The line is x + y = 6. Milo rewrites x + y = 6 by taking x from both sides: y = 6 − x. What is the rule in y = mx + b form?

   y = -x + 6
