3. Y = mx + b Slope-intercept Form
An equation whose graph is a straight line is a linear equation. Since a function rule is an equation, a function can also be linear.
m = slope
b = y-intercept
Slope-intercept Form
Y = mx + b
(if you know the slope and where the line crosses the y-axis, use this form)

4. b = -7, so the y-intercept is -7
For example in the equation; y = 3x + 6 m = 3, so the slope is 3 b = +6, so the y-intercept is +6
Let’s look at another:
y = 4/5x -7
m = 4/5, so the slope is 4/5
b = -7, so the y-intercept is -7
Please note that in the slope-intercept formula;
y = mx + b
the “y” term is all by itself on the left side of the equation.
That is very important!

5. WHY? If the “y” is not all by itself, then we must first use the rules of algebra to isolate the “y” term. For example in the equation:
2y = 8x + 10
You will notice that in order to get “y” all by itself we have to divide both sides by 2.
After you have done that, the equation becomes:
Y = 4x + 5
Only then can we determine the slope (4), and the y-intercept (+5)

6. What is the y-intercepts?

7. Using slope-intercept form to write equations, Rewrite the equation solving for y = to determine the slope and y-intercept.
YIP
x + 2y = 8
2y = -x + 8
y = -1x + 4 2

8. Find the Equation of the Line
What is the
y-intercept?
b = -2
What is m?
m =
y = x -2 x y

9. Try This Yourself! Write the equation of the line
b = ?
b = 1
m = ?
m = -
y = - x + 1 x y

10. Find the Equation of the Line
b = ?
b = 4
m = ?
m = 0
y = 0x+4
y=4 x y
