1. 6.2: Slope-Intercept Form

2. Linear Equations  An equation whose graph is a line is a linear equation. Ex. y = 3x – 4  The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis.  The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y=mx + b

3. Finding the Slope & Y-Intercept  Ex. y = 3x – 5  Ex. y = -2x + 1  Ex. y = 7/6x – ¾

4. Writing the Equation  Ex. Write the equation when the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is -8.  Ex. Write the equation given:

5. Graphing  Graph y = 3x – 1
