6.2: Slope-Intercept Form
Linear Equations An equation whose graph is a line is a linear equation. Ex. y = 3x – 4 The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y=mx + b
Finding the Slope & Y-Intercept Ex. y = 3x – 5 Ex. y = -2x + 1 Ex. y = 7/6x – ¾
Writing the Equation Ex. Write the equation when the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is -8. Ex. Write the equation given:
Graphing Graph y = 3x – 1
