### Comparing Slopes

#### Homework Assignment: Due in 11 hours

You are tasked with comparing the slopes of two linear equations. Follow the instructions below to complete this assignment. 

#### Instructions:

1. **Write each equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).**
   - **Do not enter spaces in your answer.**
2. **Identify the slope (m) of each line.**
   - Use a slash (/) to enter a fraction if needed.
3. **State how the slopes of the lines relate (equal, reciprocals, negative reciprocals, opposites, or none of these).**

#### Equations:

- **Equation 1:** \( 3x - y = -9 \)
- **Equation 2:** \( 6x + 2y = 12 \)

#### Questions:

a. **Equation 1 in slope-intercept form:**
   *\[ \text{Type your answer here} \]*

b. **Slope of Equation 1:**
   *\[ \text{Type your answer here} \]*

c. **Equation 2 in slope-intercept form:**
   *\[ \text{Type your answer here} \]*

d. **Slope of Equation 2:**
   *\[ \text{Type your answer here} \]*

e. **The slopes of the two equations are:**
   *\[ \text{Type your answer here} \]* (equal, reciprocals, negative reciprocals, opposites, or none of these)

#### Example:

For practice, let’s solve an example:

- Given Equation: \( 4x - 2y = 8 \)

To convert this into slope-intercept form:

\[ 4x - 2y = 8 \]
\[ -2y = -4x + 8 \]
\[ y = 2x - 4 \]

The slope \( m \) is 2.
