Writing Equations From Two Points Notes

4. Warm-Up
Write an equation in slope-intercept form with the given information
m = -6; point: (3, -2)
m = 0; point: (-7, 1)

5. Forbidden City, Beijing, China

6. Learning Intention/Success Criteria
LI: We are learning to write linear equations using two points. SC: I know how to 1. use the slope formula to find the slope between two points 2. write linear equations in slope intercept form 3. substitute values into equations 4. identify x, y, m, and b values 5. simplify expressions 6. solve multi-step equations for a variable

7. Today’s Vocabulary Slope Formula m = change in y change in x
m = y2 – y x2 – x1

8. Revisited Vocabulary Slope
A number which is used to indicate the steepness of a line
Indicates if the line is tilted uphill or downhill
Indicated by the letter “m”
Point
The pair of numbers giving the location on the coordinate plane
Written in the form: (x, y)

9. Revisited Vocabulary Y-Intercept
The point at which the function crosses the y-axis
Indicated by the letter “b”
Slope Intercept Form
A way of writing an equation with a slope and y-intercept
Written: f(x) = mx + b

10. Example 1: Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through (3, 1) and (-4, 15)
m = y2 – y x2 – x1
SC1
SC3
SC5
m = 15 – – 3 =
= -2
SC2
y = mx + b
SC3 SC4
1 = (-2)(3) + b
1 = -6 + b
SC5
______________ +6 +6
SC6
7 = b
SC2
y = -2x + 7

11. Guided Practice 1
Using slope-intercept form, find the equation of the line that passes through (2, -5) and (8, 13)

12. Guided Practice 1
Using slope-intercept form, find the equation of the line that passes through (2, -5) and (8, 13)
m = y2 – y x2 – x1
= 13 – (-5) – 2 =
= 3
y = mx + b
y = 3x – 11
13 = (3)(8) + b
13 = 24 + b
-11 = b

13. Guided Practice 2
Using slope-intercept form, find the equation of the line that passes through (4, -1) and (-2, 29)

14. Guided Practice 2
Using slope-intercept form, find the equation of the line that passes through (4, -1) and (-2, 29)
m = y2 – y x2 – x1
= 29 – (-1) – 2 – 4 =
= -5
y = mx + b
y = -5x + 19
-1 = (-5)(4) + b
-1 = b
19 = b

15. Game Time!
With your country group, take out the Kings and Queens in your deck and place them on the side
Ace is 1. Jack is 0
Red = Negative. Black = Positive

16. Game Time!
Each person at your country will pick 1 card (with a total of 4 cards)
The first two cards drawn are for Point 1. The second two cards drawn are for Point 2
Using this information, find the equation of the line
First person to get the line solved correctly, gets a point

17. Game Time! First person to get the equation correct gets a point
Person with the most points wins
Everyone in your group must get the same answer before moving on to the next problem
