The World of Linear Equations: y MX + B

This document discusses writing linear equations in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) and provides examples of how to write the equation given different inputs like the slope and y-intercept, two points, or a slope and single point. It explains that to write the equation in slope-intercept form, you substitute the given slope (m) and y-intercept (b) values. If only a slope and point are provided, you can use the point-slope form and substitute to find b and then the full equation. The examples walk through various scenarios of writing the linear equation based on different given values like the slope, a point, or two points.

Writing Linear Equations


In Slope-Intercept Form

y = mx + b

If you are given:


The slope and y-intercept

Finding the equation of


the line in y= mx + b
form. Given: slope
and y-intercept. Just
substitute the m with
the slope value and
the b with the yintercept value.

Slope = and
y-intercept = -3
-3

y= mx + b

y= x 3

If you are given: A Graph


Find the:

y intercept = b = the point where


the line crosses the y axis.

Slope = rise = m =

y intercept = b = -3

Slope = up

y= mx + b

y= x 3

If you are given:


The slope and a point

Given: slope (m)


and a point (x,y). To
write equations given
the slope and a point
using Point-Slope
Form.

Point-Slope Form
y y1 m(x x1 )

Slope =

If you are given:


The slope and a point

Given: slope (m) and a


point (x,y). Substitute
x, y, and m into y =
mx+b and find the value
of b (the y-intercept).
Then write the equation
substituting m and b
values into y = mx + b.

Slope =
and point (4,-1)
4 -1

y = mx + b
-1 = (4) + b

-3 = b
So!
m =

y= x 3

and b = -3

If you are given:

substitute one of the
y = mx + b
points x and y values
-2 = (2) + b
into y = mx+b along with
-2 = 1 + b
the slope.

Point (-2, -4) & Point (2, -2)

So!

and b = -3

If you are given:


Two points

Finding the equation of


the line in y= mx + b
form. Given: Two
points. First find the
slope (m) and then
substitute one of the
points x and y values into
Point-Slope Form.

Point-Slope Form
y y1 m(x x1 )
Point (-2, -4) & Point (2, -2)

Find the:

Slope =
