Section 6 – 2 Slope – Intercept Form Objectives: To write equations in slope-intercept form To graph linear equations
Linear Equation: An equation whose graph is a line. Examples: y = 2x + 5 f(x) =
y-intercept: the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
Slope-Intercept Form of a Linear Equation: y = mx + b Slope-Intercept has TWO important parts: SLOPE: Y-INTERCEPT: y = 2x + 5
Example 1 Identifying Slope & y-intercept Identify the slope and y-intercept of each equation. • y = 3x – 5 • y = -2x + 1 • y =
Example 2 Writing an Equation Write an equation of the line with the given slope and y-intercept. • Slope = , y-intercept = 6 • Slope = -3, y-intercept = 4 • Slope = y-intercept =
When you know the y-intercept and slope of a line, you can write an equation of the line! WATCH
