4. 4 Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 3-4 Understand Translations of Graphs y = 2x + 3 y = 2x y = 2x – 3 The lines of the graphs of these lines are parallel. We say that the graphs of these equations are vertical translations.

5. 5 Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 3-5 Find the Slope of a Line The slope of a line, m, is the ratio of the vertical change, or rise, to the horizontal change, or run, between any two selected points on the line. Consider the points (1,2) and (3, 6)

10. 10 Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 3-10 Horizontal Lines Every horizontal line has a slope of 0. y = 2

11. 11 Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 3-11 Vertical Lines The slope of any vertical line is undefined. x = -4

12. 12 Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 3-12 Slope-Intercept Form In the slope-intercept form, the graph of a linear equation will always be a straight line in the form y = mx + b were m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (0, b). y = mx + b slopey-intercept Examples: y = 3x – 6 slope is 3 y-intercept is (0, -6) slope is 1/2 y-intercept is (0, 3/2 )

13. 13 Copyright © 2015, 2011, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 3-13 Slope-Intercept Form Example Write the equation -5x + 2y = 8 in slope- intercept form. The slope is 5/2; the y- intercept is (0, 4).
