Chapter 5 Review: 1 Writing Linear Equations: Slope-Intercept Form

This document contains a review of writing linear equations from chapter 5 in Mr. Soto's class on March 15, 2007. It provides three examples of writing linear equations in slope-intercept form: 1) Given the slope and y-intercept, 2) Given the slope and a point, 3) Given two points. The examples show how to substitute the given values into the slope-intercept form equation y=mx+b to write the equation of the line.
