1 5.3 Slope-Intercept Form I can write linear equations using slope-intercept form and graph linear equations in slope-intercept form.

2 Parent Functions A family of functions is a group of functions with common characteristics. Simplest function with these characteristics is called a parent function. The linear parent function is y = x or f(x) = x

3 Linear Equation Models a linear function Variable cannot be raised to a power other than 1 y = 2x is linear but y = x 2 and y = 2 x are not. The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of a point where the graph crosses the y-axis.

4 Slope-Intercept Form For linear equations that are not vertical. Remember, the slope of a vertical line is undefined. Ex: identify the slope and y-intercept for the linear equation y = 5x – 2 Slope: 5 y-intercept: -2

5 Writing an Equation

6 From a Graph Crosses the y-axis at -2 so b = -2 Pick two points to find the slope: (0, -2) and (1, 0) m = 2 Write an equation using slope-intercept form: ◦ y = 2x – 2

7 From Two Points Find the equation of the line that passes through (2,1) and (5, -8) Use the points to find slope ◦ m = -3 Use slope and one of the points to find b y = -3x + b and plug in the point (2, 1) 1 = -3(2) + b 1= -6 + b 7 = b Write the equation ◦ y = -3x + 7

8 Graphing What is the graph of y = 2x – 1?

9 Practice What is the graph of each linear equation? y = -3x + 4 y = 4x – 8
