E N D
Lesson 2-3 ObjectiveThe student will be able to: • write equations using slope-intercept form. • identify slope and y-intercept from an equation
Important!!! This is one of the big concepts in algebra. You need to thoroughly understand this! Slope – Intercept Form y = mx + b m represents the slope b represents the y-intercept
Writing Equations When asked to write an equation, you need to know two things – slope (m) and y-intercept (b). There are three types of problems you will face.
Writing Equations – Type #1 2 6 Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 6. To write an equation, you need two things: slope (m) = y – intercept (b) = We have both!! Plug them into slope-intercept form y = mx + b y = 2x + 6
Write the equation of a line that has a y-intercept of -3 and a slope of -4. • y = -3x – 4 • y = -4x – 3 • y = -3x + 4 • y = -4x + 3
Writing Equations – Type #2 3 ??? Write an equation of the line that has a slope of 3 and goes through the point (2,1). To write an equation, you need two things: slope (m) = y – intercept (b) = We have to find the y-intercept!! Plug in the slope and ordered pair into y = mx + b 1 = 3(2) + b
Writing Equations – Type #2 1 = 3(2) + b Solve the equation for b 1 = 6 + b -6 -6 -5 = b To write an equation, you need two things: slope (m) = y – intercept (b) = y = 3x - 5 3 -5
Writing Equations – Type #3 Write an equation of the line that goes through the points (-2, 1) and (4, 2). To write an equation, you need two things: slope (m) = y – intercept (b) = We need both!! First, we have to find the slope. Plug the points into the slope formula. Simplify ??? ???
Writing Equations – Type #3 Write an equation of the line that goes through the points (-2, 1) and (4, 2). To write an equation, you need two things: slope (m) = y – intercept (b) = It’s now a Type #2 problem. Pick one of the ordered pairs to plug into the equation. Which one looks easiest to use? I’m using (4, 2) because both numbers are positive. 2 = (4) + b ???
Writing Equations – Type #3 2 = (4) + b Solve the equation for b 2 = + b To write an equation, you need two things: slope (m) = y – intercept (b) =
Write an equation of the line that goes through the points (0, 1) and (1, 4). • y = 3x + 4 • y = 3x + 1 • y = -3x + 4 • y = -3x + 1
To find the slope and y-intercept of an equation, write the equation in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b. Find the slope and y-intercept. • y = 3x – 7 y = mx + b m = 3, b = -7
Find the slope and y-intercept. m = b = 0 2) y = x y = mx + b y = x + 0 3) y = 5 y = mx + b y = 0x + 5 m = 0 b = 5
