When an equation is in slope-intercept form:
Examples: Identify the slope of the line and the y- intercept for each equation. 1. y = 3x y = ½ x – 3 3. y = x –94. y = 6 - x 3 2 ½
Ex.1: What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form? m = b = -2 Using a Graph
Ex. 2: What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form? m = b = 3
Graphing linear equations using slope- intercept form (y = mx + b) Step 1: Graph the y-intercept. Step 2: Using the slope, find another point. Step 3: Draw a line through the two points.
Ex. 1 Graph the equation: m = b = 1
Ex. 2 Graph the equation: m = b = -4
Ex. 3 Graph the equation: m = b = 2
Ex. 4 Graph the equation: m = b = 6
Slope Intercept Form: Let’s look at a graph of a linear equation in this form. What does the slope tell you about a line? How does changing the slope affect your graph? What is the y- intercept? What does it tell you about the line? How does changing the y – intercept affect you graph?
