LESSON 20 PREREQ B: Writing the Equation of a Line
The SLOPE Formula:
Ex 1: Find the slope. a) b) c)
HORIZONTAL LINES: SLOPE = M = 0 Y-INTERCEPT (0, B) VERTICAL LINES: SLOPE = M IS UNDEFINED NO Y-INTERCEPT
Slope-Intercept form:
Point-Slope form:
Standard form:
Ex 2: Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form & sketch the graph. a) Slope = 2, y-int = 4 b) Slope = y-int = − 1
Ex 3: Write the equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope. a) Slope = 2 b) Slope =
Ex 4: Write the equation of the line that passes through the given points. a) & b) &
