Slope-Intercept Form Section 3.6
Overview Using the y-intercept and the Slope to Graph a Line Equations in Slope-Intercept Form Graphing and Slope-Intercept Form Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Graphing Lines Graphing by calculating two of more points Graphing without calculating y = mx + b
x y
Using the y-intercept and the Slope to Graph a Line Calculating slope –Change in y divided by change in x –Rise over run Finding y-intercept
Equations in Slope-Intercept Form Standard form of a linear equation Alternate form Slope-intercept equation
Graphing and Slope-Intercept Form Graph y = (¾) x + 5 Graph 2x + 3y = 3
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Look at slope Parallel – slope are same Perpendicular – Product of slopes is –1 (or one is vertical and the other is horizontal)
Try This Write slope-intercept equation for a line that: –Has y-intercept (0, -1) and is parallel to 2x – 3y = 7 –Has y-intercept (0, -1) and is perpendicular to 2x – 3y = 7
