5 Slope Intercept Form PDF

The document discusses slope-intercept form, which is an important concept in Algebra 1 where the equation is written as y = mx + b, with m representing the slope and b representing the y-intercept. It provides examples of writing equations in slope-intercept form given the slope and y-intercept or a point on the line. Key steps involve identifying the slope and y-intercept to write the equation in y = mx + b form.

Slope-Intercept

Form

1
Important!!!
This is one of the BIG concepts in
Algebra 1.

Slope – Intercept Form


y = mx + b

slope y-intercept
2
Writing Equations
 Writean equation in slope-intercept
form of the line that has a slope of 2
and a y-intercept of 6.

y = mx + b

m=

b=
3
Practice Writing Equations
 m=5; b=-2  m=1/2; b=-3

 m=-1; b=4  m=4; b=0

 m=1; b=0  m=2; b=3/4

4
Writing Equations
 Write an equation of the line that has a
slope of 3 and goes through the point
(2,1).

y = mx + b

m=
b=

5
Find the slope-intercept form if the slope is
½ and goes through the point (4, 5).

6
Writing Equations
 Write an equation of the line in slope-
intercept form that goes through the points
(-2, 1) and (4, 2).

 Write an equation of the line that goes


through the points (0, 1) and (1, 4).

7
Find the slope and y-intercept.
 f(x) = 2 x + 4  y = 3x
3 m=
m= b=
b=

 y = -2x -3
 f(x) = -2x
m=
b= m=
b=

8
Find the slope and y-intercept.

 5x - 3y = 6  15x - 3y = 9

 2x + y = 4  12x + 4y = 16

Summary
 What is slope Thinking question:
intercept form?
 How can we write  What is so
an equation in important about
slope intercept the slope intercept
form given a point form?
and slope?
