Algebra Review. Slope of a Line connecting 2 points Review:. Slope = rise run. Slope = y 2 – y 1 x 2 – x 1. Example:. Determine the slope of the line that passes through the following two points:. (3,7) and (1,-1). Example:.

Slope of a Line connecting 2 points Review: Slope = rise run Slope = y2 – y1 x2– x1
Example: Determine the slope of the line that passes through the following two points: (3,7) and (1,-1)
Example: Determine the slope of the line that passes through the following two points: (6,8) and (-2,-4)
Remember… • The slope of a line that leans right is POSITIVE. • The slope of a line that leans left is NEGATIVE. • The slope of a horizontal line is ZERO. • The slope of a vertical line is UNDEFINED.
The place where a line crosses over the y-axis is called the y-intercept You can determine the y-intercept by using y = mx + b.
Example: Determine the y-intercept of the line that has a slope of 3 and passes through (6,0).
Example: Determine the y-intercept of the line that has a slope of -2 and passes through (1,7).
Graphing Lines Review: If the equation is in slope-intercept form (y=mx + b), then you are ready to graph. y = mx + b Slope – rise over run y-intercept – (0,b)
Example: Graph the following equation: y = -3x + 5
Example: Graph the following equation: y = 2x - 7
Example: Graph the following equation: 3x – 4y = 12
