2. Slope of a Line x y

3. x y

4. Find the slope of the line shown below.

5. Vertical and Horizontal Lines Let’s take a look at the vertical line and horizontal line through the point (-3,1). Vertical Lines Slope Undefined Equation: Horizontal Lines Slope = 0 Equation:

6. Forms of a Line Slope-Intercept Form: Point-Slope Form: General Form: m = slope b = y-intercept m = slope (x 1,y 1 ) = point on line A,B are integers ≠ 0 and A > 0

7. Forms of a Line - Practice 1) Write the equation of the line in general form. 2) Write the equation of the line in slope- intercept form.
