4. Refreshers • Equations of Lines • Slope-intercept Form: y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. • Examples • What is the equation of the line with slope –4 and y-intercept 6?

5. Refreshers • Examples • What is the equation of the line that contains the points whose coordinates are (4, 1) and(–2, 5)? First, find the slope. Use the slope and one of the points to find b and write the equation. using (4, 1): y = mx + b

6. Refreshers • Equations of Lines (continued) • Standard Form: Ax + By = C where A, B, and C areintegers. • Example What is the slope of the line whose equation is5x – 3y + 6 = 0? Put into slope-intercept form to find the slope.
