1. Graphing Linear Equations
Using the Best Method

2. Forms of Linear Equations
Linear equations are represented in 2 primary forms. The first form is _________________________ written as___________ where the _________ is represented by “m” and the _________________ is represented by “b”.
The second form is _________________________ and is written as ______________________. Written with the leading coefficient always _______________ and the values A, B, & C expressed as _____________
Slope-Intercept Form
Slope
y-intercept
Standard Form
positive
integers

3. Slope-Intercept Form ( )
When an equation is written in slope-intercept form we first plot the __________________ and then apply the __________ using the rise over the run. Then using a ruler connect the points.
Y-intercept
slope

4. Standard Form
When an equation is written in standard form we first try to find the x & y ________________ by using the ________ ____ method
We cover up the Ax value to find the
___ _____________ which in this case is ____. We cover up the By value to find the ___ ___________ which in this case is _____. We plot the 2 intercepts and connect with a line.

cover up y
intercept 4 x
intercept 6

5. Sometimes the values for the x- intercept is not an _____________
so we plot the value which is the
____ ______________. And apply the ___________ which is computed by taking
The y-intercept is _______
The slope is ________
integer y
