AlgebraChapter 5 Writing Linear Equations
Slope-Intercept Form • m is slope • b is y-intercept • y=mx + b
Writing the equation of a line • Write an equation whose slope is 2 and it’s y-intercept is -3
Writing the Equation of a line • Find the equation of the line whose slope is ½ and y-intercept is 9
Writing Equations from Graphs • -Graph the points and count slope • -Use slope equation
Writing Equations from Graphs • Write the Equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, 0) and has a y-intercept of -1
Writing Equations from Graphs • Write the Equation of the line that passes through the point (4, 1) and has a y-intercept of 1
Writing Equations from Graphs • Write the Equation of the line that passes through the points (0 , 2) and (3, -3)
Writing Equations from Graphs • Your cell phone plan costs $40 per month for 500 minutes, and $1.20 for each minute over 500. Write and graph an equation that models your costs
Solving Equations • In any equation, we can solve for any variable that is not known • -Rewrite in terms of that variable • -Find a value if all the other values are known • -Can use this to find equations
Solving With Slope and a Point • We can find the equation of any line simply by knowing a point on the line and it’s slope.
Solving With Slope and Point • Substitute known values into the equation • Solve for b • Rewrite the equation y = mx + b with slope and y-intercept values
Solving with Slope and Point • Find the equation of the line passing through the point (-3, 0 ) and has slope of 1/3
Solving with Slope and a Point • Find the equation of the line passing through point (-2, -1) with slope of -3
Solving with Slope and a Point • Find the equation of the line passing through (3 , -4) and is parallel to the line y = -3x – 2
Finding Slope… • We can find slope 2 ways • -Graphing • -Slope equations
Finding Slope.. • Find the slope of the line through the points (4, 1) and (-1, 5)
Finding Slope.. • Find the slope of the line through the points (0 , -1) and (5, 9)
Finding Slope.. • Find the slope of the line through the points (3 , 4) and (3 , 9)
So…Writing Equations Now… • When Given 2 points, first find the slope. • Once you find the slope, you have a slope and a point (2 points actually!) • Plug in the slope and a point to find the equation
Hold up… • If we have two points, does it matter which one we choose? • No…Since both points are on the line, doesn’t matter which one we choose.
Writing Equations • Find the equation of the line passing through the points: • (0 , -1) and (5 , 9)
Writing Equations • Find the equation of the line passing through the points: • (1 , 6) and (3 , -4)
Writing Equations • Find the equation of the line passing through the points: • (6 , -3) and (0 , 9)
Writing Equations • Find the equation of the line passing through the points: • (3 , -6) and (3 , 4)
Perpendicular Lines • What is perpendicular? • Why/How are lines perpendicular?
Perpendicular Lines • Draw some pictures!
What do you think? • We’ve been talking a lot about slope… • … is there a way we can represent perpendicular lines in terms of slope?
Perpendicular Lines • Two lines are perpendicular iff their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other • -What is a reciprocal • -What then makes it a negative reciprocal?
Perpendicular Lines • Slopes: Perp. Slope: • 3 • ½ • -1/4 • -5/7
Equations of Perp. Lines • Find the equation of the line with a y-intercept of 3 and is perpendicular to the line:
Equations of Perp. Lines • Find the equation of the line with a y-intercept of 1 and is perpendicular to the line:
Equations of Perp. Lines • Find the equation of the line passing through the point ( 3, 4) and is perpendicular to the line:
Class Activity! • Including yourself, go around the class and ask everyone their height and the length of their hand. Graph the data on graph paper!
What did you find? • Is there a relationship between the data? • Can you draw a line through your graph that accurately represents your graph? • Can you find the equation of that line?
Best Fitting Lines • What you drew was a Line of Best Fit (Best Fitting line!) • Is there only 1 correct answer? • -For now: No • -Technically….yes • Least Squares Method or Linear Regression
Correlation • Data is Positively Correlated iff the line drawn through the data has a positive slope • Examples:
Correlation • Data is Negatively Correlated iff the line drawn through the data has a negative slope • Examples:
Correlation • Data has No Correlation iff there cannot be an accurate line drawn through the data • Examples:
