Lesson 2.5 AIM: Graphing Slope Intercept Form
SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM y = mx + b m = slope (how steep the line is) b = y-intercept (where it crosses the y-axis)
Example y = 5x + 3 slope = 5 y-intercept = 3
Example y = 5x + 3 slope = 5 y-intercept = 3
Example y = -2x slope = -2 y-intercept = 0
Example y = -2x slope = -2 y-intercept = 0
slope = y-intercept = -2 Example
slope = y-intercept = -2 Example
Example 2y = 4x - 6 2y = 4x - 6 Divide by 2. y = 2x - 3 Slope = 2 y-intercept = -3
Example 2y = 4x - 6 2y = 4x - 6 Divide by 2. y = 2x - 3 Slope = 2 y-intercept = -3
