ALGEBRA 2: SECTION 2.4


Writing Equations of Lines
SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM
 Used when given slope and y-intercept

y mx b
EXAMPLE

Write an equation of the line with


m 2, y int : (0, 5)

y mx b
y 2x 5
POINT-SLOPE FORM
y y1 m(x x1)
where (x1, y1 ) is point line goes through
 Used when given a point the line goes through
and the slope of the line
or
 When given two points on the line
EXAMPLES

Write the equation of the line in slope- int form with

that passes through ( 3, 4) and (5, 2).

To use point-slope form, y y1 m(x x1)


must know slope 1

DIRECT VARIATION
 Two variables vary directly if
y = kx, (k ≠ 0)
 k is called the constant of variation
EXAMPLES
 The variables x and y vary directly. Write an
equation that relates the variables.
x = 5, y = 7

First, solve for the Plug the value of k into


constant of variation, k. the general equation.
y kx y kx
