Common Core Standards Covered in this lesson: HSA-CED.A.2 --Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities 8.F.A.3 Interpret the equation y=mx + b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line
1) Write an equation of a line in slope- intercept form that passes through the point (1, -2) and has a slope of 3.
Point Slope Form Equation: y – y 1 = m(x – x 1 ) Where m is the slope x 1 and y 1 are a point on the line Slope Intercept Form: y = mx + b Where m is the slope b is your y-intercept y – (-2) = 3(x – 1) y + 2 = 3x – 3 y = 3x – 5 y = 3x – 5 SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM
2. Find the equation of the line in slope- intercept form that passes through the points (-4, 5) and (-3, -2).
FIND SLOPE FIRST
2. Find the equation of the line in slope- intercept form that passes through the points (-4, 5) and (-3, -2). Slope = -7 Select a point (you may pick either point you used to find the slope with) Let’s choose (-4, 5)
2. Find the equation of the line in slope- intercept form that passes through the points (-4, 5) and (-3, -2). Now we have a slope (-7) and a point (-4, 5). Put equation in point slope form!
2. Find the equation of the line in slope- intercept form that passes through the points (-4, 5) and (-3, -2). y – 5 = -7(x + 4) Solve for y to get into slope- intercept form
2. Find the equation of the line in slope- intercept form that passes through the points (-4, 5) and (-3, -2). y – 5 = -7(x + 4) y – 5 = -7x – 28 y = - 7x – 23 y = - 7x – 23
y = - 7x – 23 This is the equation of the line in slope- intercept form that passes through the points (-4, 5) and (-3, -2)
