Lesson 11.7 Slope-Intercept Form Essential Question: How do you write and graph equations in slope-intercept form?
Before we start… Make a table of values for the equation 𝑦=4𝑥+3 Plot the points and draw a line. Use the graph to find the slope and the y-intercept.
What is slope-intercept form? y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the equation’s graph.
An equation needs to be in slope-intercept form to identify the slope and y-intercept. If it is not, you have to rewrite the equation by solving for y.

How do I graph an equation in slope-intercept form? Make sure the equation is in slope-intercept form y = mx + b Identify the y-intercept and plot it. Identify the slope. Use the slope to plot another point. Draw a line through your points.
Graph 𝑦= 1 2 𝑥+3
Graph 𝑦=5𝑥
How do you write an equation in slope-intercept form? Use the form 𝑦=𝑚𝑥+𝑏 Replace m with the rate of change (slope). Replace b with the initial condition (y-intercept).
