standard_description: Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation y = mx for a line through the origin and the equation y = mx + b for a line intercepting the vertical axis at b.
problem_activity: Problem 1

Problem 3
Line
$$a$$
is shown on the coordinate grid. Construct line
$$b$$
on the coordinate grid so that
Line
$$a$$
and line
$$b$$
represent a system of linear equations with a solution of (
$$6$$
,
$$-2$$
).
The slope of line
$$b$$
is greater than
$$-1$$
and less than
$$0$$
.
The
$$y$$
-intercept of line
$$b$$
is positive.
