1. Section 6-2: Slope-Intercept Form of a Linear Equation SPI 22C: select the graph that represents a given linear function expressed in slope-intercept form Objective: Graph and write linear equations using slope-intercept form 1. Slope-Intercept form: y = mx + b 2. Standard Form: Ax + By = C 3. Point-Slope form: y – y 1 = m (x – x 1 ) 3 Different Forms of a Linear Equation Linear equation: an equation whose graph is a line the variable will have an exponent of 1 y- Intercept: point where line crosses the y-axis
