1. Graphing Equations Slope Intercept form and Point Slope form

2. Quick Review Slope Intercept form ◦ m = slope ◦ b = y-intercept Point Slope form ◦ m = slope ◦ = any point on the line

3. What We Need to Graph Starting point ◦ Slope intercept form form – y-intercept  b ◦ Point Slope form – point Direction ◦ Slope Intercept and Point Slope form – slope  m

4. Graphing in Slope Intercept Form Given an equation Step 1: Identify the slope and the y-intercept  Slope = m =y-intercept = 5 Step 2: Plot your y-intercept on the graph (hint: the y-intercept is always located on the y axis) Step 3: Find additional points on the line (use the rise and the run given in the slope to find additional points Step 4: Connect the points with a line

5. Graphing in Point Slope Form Given an equation Step 1: Identify the slope and the point  Slope = m = point = = (-1, 2) Step 2: Plot your point on the graph Step 3: Find additional points on the line (use the rise and the run given in the slope to find additional points Step 4: Connect the points with a line
