This document provides instructions for solving linear equations in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b). It outlines a 3 step process: 1) use two points to find the slope (m), 2) plug a point and the slope into the equation, 3) solve for the y-intercept (b). As an example, it shows the TEKS standard for 8th grade students being able to graph linear data in slope-intercept form using online graphing systems.

Slope-Intercept Form Students will be able to successfully use an
online graphing system to explore graphs of
linear data in the form of y=mx+b
How do you solve for slope-intercept form? Application Example:
Step 1: Given two pairs of points, solve for the slope Step 2: Plug one pair of points and your slope, m, into y=mx+b Step 3: Solve for b Step 4: plug your slope, m, and intercept, b, into y=mx+b Done!
