1. Graphing Linear Equations

2. Standard Form Equation where x and y are on the same side of the equal sign. Example:

3. Slope-Intercept Form Equation y is by itself on one side of the equal sign. Example: Solve for y.

4. Slope Slope is determined by ‘rise’ over ‘run’. “rise” is the vertical change. (change in y) “run” is the horizontal change. (change in x) *be careful of the direction of the change to determine if slope is positive or negative.*

5. y-intercept ‘y-intercept’ is where the line crosses the y-axis. *when a line crosses the y-axis, what is ALWAYS the x value? ‘y-intercept’ is your b in the equation. *notice the sign in front of b, it determines whether b is positive or negative.*

6. To Graph Step 1: Determine the y-intercept. Plot this point. Step 2: Using the slope, plot the next point, counting rise and run, going in the correct direction. *if slope is negative, only go negative in either rise OR run, not both!* Step 3: Connect the points with a line, and arrows at BOTH ends.

7. Special Cases No Slope vs. Slope of “0” (vertical)(horizontal) Explanation of "no slope" vs. "zero slope"
