Writing the equation of a line Write an equation of the line SWBAT:

Where m is the slope and b is the y intercept Equations of a line When we first explored linear equations, you learned slope intercept form. y=mx +b Where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Equations of a line  

What does this look like? Equations of a line Write the equation of a line that has the slope of -2 and passes through the point (-3,4) What does this look like?

Equations of a line Write the equation of a line that has the slope of -2 and passes through the point (-3,4)            

Equations of a line So what does the equation y=-2x-2 tell us? What is the slope? The slope is -2 What does the slope mean? The slope means down 2 and 1 to the right What is the y intercept? The y intercept is -2 What does the y intercept mean? The line intercepts the y axis at -2

Equations of a line So if I graph the equation y=-2x-2 with the original graph, what do you notice?
