Standard and Slope-Intercept Form Standard Form: ax + by = c Both variables go on one side, and the constant goes on the other. Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b The equation is solved for y. (This form makes it easy to see the slope and y-intercept.) y = mx + b slope y-intercept
Graphing Slope Intercept Form y = 2/3 * x + 1 Graph the y-intercept.
Graphing Slope Intercept Form y = 2/3 * x + 1 Graph the y-intercept. Use the slope to count the “rise” and “run” to get the next point.
Graphing Slope Intercept Form y = 2/3 * x + 1 Graph the y-intercept. Use the slope to count the “rise” and “run” to get the next point. Draw the line connecting the two points.
