1. 2.3 Notes Linear Functions: Slope, Graphs, and Models

2. Warm-up What is the slope of the line?

3. Slope Slope = Rate of change Find the slope of the line that passes through (1, -2) and (-3,7). Sketch the line.

4. You try! Find the slope of the line passing though (6, -4) and (7, -4). Sketch the line.

5. Slope-Intercept Form The Slope-intercept form of a line Any equation of the form y =mx + b is said to be written in slope-intercept form. * The slope is m * The y-intercept is b. Sketch the lines on the same grid. Find the slope of each line and compare and contrast the lines. y = 3x y = 3x + 5
