Using Slopes and Intercepts 11-3 Course 3 You can graph a linear equation easily by finding the x-intercept and the y-intercept. The x-intercept of a line is the value of x where the line crosses the x-axis(where y = 0).The y-intercept of a line is the value of y where the line crosses the y-axis(where x = 0).
You MUST know this! • Write this down! • X-intercept, the y-value in the ordered pair is 0 ex: (4,0) which means the line crosses the x-axis at 4. • Y-intercept, the x value in the ordered pair is 0! ex:(0,5) which means the line crosses the y-axis at 5.
To find the intercepts… • To find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for y and solve the equation for x. The answer is your x-intercept. • To find the y-intercept, substitute 0 for x and solve the equation for y. The answer is your y-intercept.

Using Slopes and Intercepts 11-3 Helpful Hint Helpful Hint For an equation such as y = x – 6, read the y-intercept as –6 and the slope as 1. When asked to write the equation in slope-intercept form, simply solve for Y and put the ‘x’ term directly to the right of the = sign! This is logical if you look at the formula: y=mx+b What variable is isolated by itself on 1 side of the equation? YES, Y! Course 3

Question time! • Can you find the x-intercept and y-intercepts of a line? • Can you graph the intercepts and draw the graphed line? • Can you solve an equation and write it in slope-intercept form? • Do you know the equation for slope-intercept form? • What do ‘m’, ‘b’, ‘x’ & ‘y’ stand for in the slope intercept form equation? • Parallel lines have what kind of slope? • Perpendicular lines have what kind of slope? • What is the slope formula given 2 ordered pair? If you can answer these questions then you’re ready! If not, raise both arms NOW!
What is the equation of the line? The formula for slope-intercept form has 3 names. The formula y=mx+b is called: 1st name: Slope-Intercept Form 2nd name: Equation of a line 3rd name: Standard Form Anytime you are asked to write an equation in slope-intercept form, the equation of a line or standard form, write the equation in y=mx+b form!
So, let’s put what we know so far together… • Given 2 ordered pair and asked to find the equation of the line: (y=mx+b) • Step 1: use the slope formula and find the slope. • Step 2: use the slope intercept formula and plug in the slope and 1 ordered pair and solve the equation for b which is the y-intercept. • Step 3: plug in the slope and y-intercept, leave x and y in the equation and write your answer. (example: y=3x+4)
