  1. Quick Graphs Using Slope-Intercept Form 4.6 Graphing Using Slope-Intercept Form 1 GOAL EXAMPLE 1 The equation of a line with slope m and y-intercept b is: y = mx + b SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM OF A LINEAR EQUATION

  2. EXAMPLE 2 Extra Example 1 Write the equation 3x + 4y = 8 in slope-intercept form. Then identify the slope and the y-intercept. 3x + 4y = 8 Solve for y: y-intercept = 2 To graph a line using its slope and y-intercept, first plot the y-intercept, and then use the slope to graph at least one other point.

  3. y x Extra Example 2 Graph 2x + y = 5. (0, 5) First, write in slope-intercept form: y = –2x + 5 Next, identify and plot the y-intercept: b = 5 Now use the slope to find another point and draw a line through the points:

  4. EXAMPLE 3 Two different lines in the same plane that do not intersect are _______. parallel In the coordinate plane, two vertical lines are parallel. Two nonvertical lines are parallel if and only if they have the same ______. slope

  5. Extra Example 3 Which of the following lines are parallel? a. 3y = –9x – 5 b. 2y – 6x = –5 c. 12x + 4y = 1 Write each equation in slope-intercept form to determine their slopes: a. b. c. Since equations aand c have the same slopes, they are parallel.

  6. Checkpoint Are the lines –2x + y = 5 and 4y = 8x – 1 parallel? Since each line has a slope of 2, they are parallel.
