Part 1: What is the slope of the following equations?
#### Equation 1: $ y = -6x + 2 $
- This equation is already in slope-intercept form: $ y = mx + b $, where $ m $ is the slope.
- Here, $ m = -6 $.
- Slope: $ \boxed{-6} $
#### Equation 2: $ 2x + y = 2 $
- Rearrange into slope-intercept form ($ y = mx + b $):
$$
y = -2x + 2
$$
- Here, $ m = -2 $.
- Slope: $ \boxed{-2} $
#### Equation 3: $ 3x + 4y = 9 $
- Rearrange into slope-intercept form:
$$
4y = -3x + 9 \implies y = -\frac{3}{4}x + \frac{9}{4}
$$
- Here, $ m = -\frac{3}{4} $.
- Slope: $ \boxed{-\frac{3}{4}} $
#### Equation 4: $ 4x - 2y = 3 $
- Rearrange into slope-intercept form:
$$
-2y = -4x + 3 \implies y = 2x - \frac{3}{2}
$$
- Here, $ m = 2 $.
- Slope: $ \boxed{2} $
#### Equation 5: $ 5x - 2y = 10 $
- Rearrange into slope-intercept form:
$$
-2y = -5x + 10 \implies y = \frac{5}{2}x - 5
$$
- Here, $ m = \frac{5}{2} $.
- Slope: $ \boxed{\frac{5}{2}} $
#### Equation 6: $ -3x + y = 8 $

Part 2: Write the equation for each line that is parallel to the given line.
#### Line 1: $ y = 5x - 1 $; Point: $ (2, 0) $
- Slope of the given line: $ m = 5 $.
- A line parallel to this line will have the same slope, $ m = 5 $.
- Use the point-slope form: $ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) $, where $ (x_1, y_1) = (2, 0) $:
$$
y - 0 = 5(x - 2) \implies y = 5x - 10
$$

$$
y - 7 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 3) \implies y - 7 = -\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{3}{2} \implies y = -\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{17}{2}
$$

#### Line 4: $ 4x + 2y = 5 $; Point: $ (2, -3) $

Part 4: Determine whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.
#### Pair 1: $ 2y = 2x + 8 $ and $ y = 1/2x + 1 $

- Second line: $ y = \frac{1}{2}x + 1 $. Slope: $ m_2 = \frac{1}{2} $.
- Since $ m_1 \neq m_2 $, the lines are not parallel.
- Since $ m_1 \cdot m_2 \neq -1 $ ($ 1 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \neq -1 $), the lines are not perpendicular.
- Conclusion: Neither.

- Second line: $ y = 5x + 1 $. Slope: $ m_2 = 5 $.
- Since $ m_1 \neq m_2 $, the lines are not parallel.
- Since $ m_1 \cdot m_2 \neq -1 $ ($ \frac{2}{3} \cdot 5 \neq -1 $), the lines are not perpendicular.
- Conclusion: Neither.
#### Pair 3: $ Y = 2/3x + 1 $ and $ y = 3/2x + 3 $
- First line: $ Y = \frac{2}{3}x + 1 $. Slope: $ m_1 = \frac{2}{3} $.
- Second line: $ y = \frac{3}{2}x + 3 $. Slope: $ m_2 = \frac{3}{2} $.
- Since $ m_1 \neq m_2 $, the lines are not parallel.
- Since $ m_1 \cdot m_2 = \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{2} = 1 \neq -1 $, the lines are not perpendicular.
- Conclusion: Neither.
#### Pair 4: $ Y = 1/5x + 2 $ and $ y = 5x + 1 $
- First line: $ Y = \frac{1}{5}x + 2 $. Slope: $ m_1 = \frac{1}{5} $.
- Second line: $ y = 5x + 1 $. Slope: $ m_2 = 5 $.
- Since $ m_1 \neq m_2 $, the lines are not parallel.

Part 5: Write the equations in diagonal intercept form.
Diagonal intercept form is given by:
$$
\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1
$$
where $ a $ is the x-intercept and $ b $ is the y-intercept.
#### Equation 1: $ x + 2y = 3 $
- Find the x-intercept by setting $ y = 0 $:
$$
x + 2(0) = 3 \implies x = 3 \quad (\text{x-intercept} = 3)
$$
- Find the y-intercept by setting $ x = 0 $:
$$
0 + 2y = 3 \implies y = \frac{3}{2} \quad (\text{y-intercept} = \frac{3}{2})
$$
- Diagonal intercept form:
$$
\frac{x}{3} + \frac{y}{\frac{3}{2}} = 1 \implies \frac{x}{3} + \frac{2y}{3} = 1
$$
- Equation: $ \boxed{\frac{x}{3} + \frac{2y}{3} = 1} $
#### Equation 2: $ 2x + y = 12 $
- Find the x-intercept by setting $ y = 0 $:
$$
2x + 0 = 12 \implies x = 6 \quad (\text{x-intercept} = 6)
$$
- Find the y-intercept by setting $ x = 0 $:
$$
2(0) + y = 12 \implies y = 12 \quad (\text{y-intercept} = 12)
$$
- Diagonal intercept form:
$$
\frac{x}{6} + \frac{y}{12} = 1
$$
- Equation: $ \boxed{\frac{x}{6} + \frac{y}{12} = 1} $
#### Equation 3: $ 3y + 5x = 2 $
- Find the x-intercept by setting $ y = 0 $:
$$
3(0) + 5x = 2 \implies x = \frac{2}{5} \quad (\text{x-intercept} = \frac{2}{5})
$$
- Find the y-intercept by setting $ x = 0 $:
$$
3y + 5(0) = 2 \implies y = \frac{2}{3} \quad (\text{y-intercept} = \frac{2}{3})
$$
- Diagonal intercept form:
$$
\frac{x}{\frac{2}{5}} + \frac{y}{\frac{2}{3}} = 1 \implies \frac{5x}{2} + \frac{3y}{2} = 1
$$
- Equation: $ \boxed{\frac{5x}{2} + \frac{3y}{2} = 1} $
#### Equation 4: $ 6x + y = 1 $
- Find the x-intercept by setting $ y = 0 $:
$$
6x + 0 = 1 \implies x = \frac{1}{6} \quad (\text{x-intercept} = \frac{1}{6})
$$
- Find the y-intercept by setting $ x = 0 $:
$$
6(0) + y = 1 \implies y = 1 \quad (\text{y-intercept} = 1)
$$
- Diagonal intercept form:
$$
\frac{x}{\frac{1}{6}} + \frac{y}{1} = 1 \implies 6x + y = 1
$$
- Equation: $ \boxed{6x + y = 1} $
#### Equation 5: $ y = -7x $
- Find the x-intercept by setting $ y = 0 $:
$$
0 = -7x \implies x = 0 \quad (\text{x-intercept does not exist})
$$
- Find the y-intercept by setting $ x = 0 $:
$$
y = -7(0) \implies y = 0 \quad (\text{y-intercept does not exist})
$$
- Since both intercepts are zero, this line cannot be expressed in diagonal intercept form.
- Equation: $ \boxed{\text{Not applicable}} $
#### Equation 6: $ 6x + 2y = 2 $
- Find the x-intercept by setting $ y = 0 $:
$$
6x + 2(0) = 2 \implies x = \frac{1}{3} \quad (\text{x-intercept} = \frac{1}{3})
$$
- Find the y-intercept by setting $ x = 0 $:
$$
6(0) + 2y = 2 \implies y = 1 \quad (\text{y-intercept} = 1)
$$
- Diagonal intercept form:
$$
\frac{x}{\frac{1}{3}} + \frac{y}{1} = 1 \implies 3x + y = 1
$$
- Equation: $ \boxed{3x + y = 1} $
