GOAL • Given a line, write a slope-intercept equation.
Slope-Intercept Form • We need two things, can you guess what they are? Slope Y-intercept
m = Slope Remember: b = y-intercept The place where the line crosses the y-axis. Also, when x=0
Example 1 Identify the slope and y-intercept. • Slope=2 • y-intercept=-10
You try! • Slope and y-intercept?
Example 2 Find y when x=3. What do we do? Plug 3 in for x. So: The point (3,-4) is on the line .
You try! Find y when x=3 Answer: (3,0)
Example 3 Slope and y-intercept? Slope = 1 Intercept = 0.
Example 4 • Sometimes you will need to solve for y first to get it in the form y=mx+b. Slope = -2 Intercept = 9
Remember Is equivalent to
Example 5 • Write an equation of the line. • Slope=? • y=intercept? Answer:
