Graphing  Equations  in  Slope-­Intercept  Form  
Slope-Intercept Form
Slope-­Intercept  Form   y  =  mx  +  b,  where  m  is  the  slope  and  b  is  the  y-­intercept  

Example 1: Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with a slope of –4 and a y-intercept of 3.
y = mx + b Slope-­intercept  form
y = –4x + 3 Replace  m  with  –4  and  b  with  3.

Example 2: Graph 3x – 4y = 8.
3x – 4y = 8 Original  equation
–4y = –3x + 8 Subtract  3x  from  each  side.
!"# !$%  '  (
= Divide  each  side  by  –4.

y = − 3 4x – 2 Simplify.

$ $
The y-intercept of y = x – 2 is –2 and the slope is . So graph the point (0, –2). From this point, move up 3 units and right

4 units. Draw a line passing through both points.

Exercises
