Slope Intercept Form

Find the slope and yintercept of each graph.

slope:

y-int:

slope:

y-int:

How are the slope and y-intercepts of the graph shown in the equation for the line?

y = mx + b
m = slope b = y-intercept

Identify the slope and y-intercept from the equations.

1. y=3x + 2 m= b=

2. y=3x 2 m= b=

3. y=x-9

4. y=3 m= b=

5. y=4x m= b= b= m=

Write the equation of the lines given the slopes and y-intercepts: 1. slope= 2 y-intercept= -5 2. m= b = 8 3. m=-3 b=

Find the slope and y-intercepts of the line and use those to write the equation for the line.

Graphing from Slope-Intercept form:

1. Plot the y-intercept. 2. Use the slope to count up (+) or down (-), then to the right. Plot that point. 3. Connect the y-intercept and the point you found using the slope.

y=1

y=x

Write the equation in slope-intercept form. Sometimes you are given an equation that isnt in slope-intercept form. To change it, simply solve for y and then make sure the remaining terms are in the correct order. 2. x y = 3 3. 4y = 2x 4

1. 3y + 4x = 6

Write the slope-intercept equation for a line given two points. 1. Find the slope from the two points. (3,-2) and (1, -3)

2. Find the y-intercept by plugging in one point and the slope into y=mx+b and solving for b. y = mx+b pick a point: (1,-3) plug that point in for x and y plug in the slope for m simplify each side as much as possible solve for b

b is your y-intercept

3. Using the slope and y-intercept you found, write the equation.

y=

x+
