SWBAT… Write lines in slope-intercept form Wed, 2/20/10 Agenda • Warm-up (10 min) • Notes on slope intercept – 4 examples (30 min) • Exit slip (5 min) WARM-UP http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/frames_asid_332_g_4_t_2.html?from=category_g_4_t_2.html HW#3: Writing equations in slope-intercept form
y-intercept slope Now look at the equation below…… Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b 2 What is the slope? ____________ 1 What is the y-intercept? ____________
Given y = ½x + ¾, what is the slope and the y-intercept? m = ½ b = ¾
Given y = ½x – ¾, what is the slope and the y-intercept? m = ½ b = -¾
Given y = -½x – ¾, what is the slope and the y-intercept? m = -½ b = -¾
y = mx + b • y = mx+ b is an equation that defines a line • A line has two characteristics 1. Slope 2. Points that fall on the line
Converting linear equations into Slope-Intercept Form 4 Examples
Slope intercept form is: y = mx + b Our main goal is to get the y alone on one side of the equation
Example 1 - convert into slope-intercept form 2 1 (divide both sides by 2 to get y alone) (now simplify all fractions) Slope (m) = 2 y-intercept (b) = 1
*** Your turn – Example 2 – convert into slope-intercept form*** 5y = 10x + 15 2 3 (divide both sides by 5 to get y alone) 5 5 5 (now simplify all fractions) y = 2x + 3 BRAVO!! Slope (m) = 2 y-intercept (b) = 3
*** Your turn – Example 3 – convert into slope-intercept form*** -3y = -9x – 12 Step 1: divide both sides by -3 to get y alone Step 2: Simplify all fractions Step 3: Write your equation in y = mx + b Slope (m) = y-intercept (b) =
-3y = -9x – 12 -3 -3 -3 *** Check Your Answer *** (divide both sides by -3 to get y alone) (now simplify all fractions) y = 3x + 4 Slope (m) = 3 y-intercept (b) = 4
2 3 Example 4 - convert into slope-intercept form 21x – 7y = 14 -21x -21x (subtract both sides by 21x) -7y = -21x + 14 (divide both sides by -7) -7 -7 -7 (simplify all fractions) y = 3x – 2 Slope (m) = 3 y-intercept (b) = -2
***EXIT SLIP*** 2y + 26 = -6x Step 1: Subtract both sides by 26 Step 2: Divide both sides by 2 to get y by itself Step 3: Simplify all fractions Slope (m) = y-intercept (b) =
*** Check Your Answer*** 2y + 26 = -6x (subtract both sides by 26) (now divide both sides by 2 2y = -6x – 26 (simplify all fractions) y = -3x – 13 Slope (m) = -3 y-intercept (b) = -13
