Linear Functions
slope: rate of change (or the steepness) of a line y-intercept: the coordinate where the line intercepts the y-axis or a “start value”
Find the slope and the y-intercept of each equation.
Find slope and y-intercept
Convert to slope-intercept form. To put in Slope-Intercept Form, solve for y. Ex: 2x + y = 7
Convert to slope-intercept form. 2x + 2y = 8
Convert to slope-intercept form. 5x - y = -4
