1. Find the x and y intercept
y = -2x - 3
y intercept = -3
x intercept =

2. Warm Up – find the slope.
(3, 1) (6,2)

3. Slope-Intercept Form
Lesson 11.6

4. Objectives:
Represent quantitative relationships graphically and interpret the meaning of a specific part of a graph in the situation represented by the graph. (AF 1.5)
Graph linear functions noting that the vertical change per unit of horizontal change is always the same and know that the ratio is called the slope of a graph. (AF 3.3)

5. Slope- Intercept Form y = 2x + 3 Slope Y- intercept
Slope tells you the “steepness” of a line.
For example – 2
(up 2, over 1)
Y-intercept tells you the starting point of your line.
For example – (0,3)

6. Identify slope and y-intercept.1. 4.
m= 3 b = 5
m= b = 4 2. 5.
m= b = -6
m= b = 0 6. 3.
m= 0 b = 4
m= ¼ b = -1

7. Slope-Intercept Form
Use the slope and y-intercept to write a linear equation in slope-intercept form. 1.
m= b = 6 4.
m= -⅓ b = 1
Y = -⅓x + 1
Y = -2x +6 2. 5.
m= 4 b = 0
m= ⅛ b = 3
Y = 4x
Y = ⅛x + 3 6.
m= 1 b = 6 3.
m= 0 b = -5
Y = 1x + 6
Y = -5

8. Graphing Slope-Intercept
y = 2x + 3
1. Y-intercept is your starting point. Start at (0, 3)
2. Use slope to create line. Up 2, to the right 1.
3. Connect the points with a line.

9. Graphing Slope-Intercept
1. Starting point?
2. Use slope
3. Connect the points
