Concept
Example 1 Write and Graph an Equation Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line with a slope of and a y-intercept of –1. Then graph the equation. Slope-intercept form
Now graph the equation. Example 1 Write and Graph an Equation Step 1Plot the y-intercept (0, –1). Step 2The slope is. From (0, –1), move up 1 unit and right 4 units. Plot the point. Step 3Draw a line through the points. Answer:
A.A B.B C.C D.D Example 1 A.y = 3x + 4 B.y = 4x + 3 C.y = 4x D.y = 4 Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line whose slope is 4 and whose y-intercept is 3.
Example 2 Graph Linear Equations Graph 5x + 4y = 8. Solve for y to write the equation in slope-intercept form. 8 – 5x = 8 + (–5x) or –5x + 8 Subtract 5x from each side. Simplify. Original equation Divide each side by 4. 5x + 4y = 8 5x + 4y – 5x= 8 – 5x 4y= 8 – 5x 4y= –5x + 8
Example 2 Graph Linear Equations Slope-intercept form Step 1Plot the y-intercept (0, 2). Now graph the equation. From (0, 2), move down 5 units and right 4 units. Draw a dot. Step 2The slope is Step 3Draw a line connecting the points. Answer:

Example 5 Write and Graph a Linear Equation HEALTH The ideal maximum heart rate for a 25-year-old exercising to burn fat is 117 beats per minute. For every 5 years older than 25, that ideal rate drops 3 beats per minute. A. Write a linear equation to find the ideal maximum heart rate for anyone over 25 who is exercising to burn fat.
Example 5 Write and Graph a Linear Equation
Example 5 Write and Graph a Linear Equation B. Graph the equation. Answer: The graph passes through (0, 117) with a slope of
Example 5 Write and Graph a Linear Equation C. Find the ideal maximum heart rate for a 55-year-old person exercising to burn fat. Answer:The ideal heart rate for a 55-year-old person is 99 beats per minute. The age 55 is 30 years older than 25. So, a = 30. Ideal heart rate equation Replace a with 30. Simplify.
