Write Equation from Slope and 1 point

Warm Up
1) What is the equation of the line on the right?

y = mx +b
What does ‘m’ stand for?

What does ‘b’ stand for?

Model Problem 1

1) What is the equation of a line with a slope of 3 that goes through the point (2,8) ?

Model Problem 2

1) What is the equation of a line with a slope of 2 that goes through the point (4 , 12) ?
Model Problem 3)

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 4 that goes through the point (1,9) ?

II. Practice Problems

1) What is the equation of a line through the point (2,5) that has a slope of 10?

2) What is the equation of a line through the point (2,17) that has a slope of 7?

3) What is the equation of a line through the point (1,3) that has a slope of -2?

4) What is the equation of a line through the point (4,6) that has a slope of ½ ?
III (online)

Try each question then check your answers against the solutions at (www.mathwarehouse.com/lines4/)

1) What is the equation of a line through the point (2,3) that has a slope of ½ ?

2) If the slope of a line is 10 and the line goes through the point (3, 34), express the equation of
this line in slope-intercept form.

3) If the slope of a line is 3 and the line goes through the point (6,23), express the equation of this
line in slope-intercept form.

4) If the slope of a line is 0 and the line goes through the point (7,5), express the equation of this
line in slope-intercept form.

5) If the slope of a line is undefined and line goes through the point (-3, -13), express the equation
of this line in slope-intercept form.
Model Problem 1 Answer

1) What is the equation of a line with a slope of 3 that goes through

the point (2,8) ?

Step 1) substitute slope into equation y = 3x +b

Step 2) substitute (2,8) into equation 8 = 3(2) +b

Step 3) solve for b 8=6+b

-6 -6
2=b

Step 4) substitute B into equation y = 3x + 2

Model Problem 2 ANSWER

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 2 that goes through the
point (4 , 12) ?

Step 1) substitute slope into equation y = 2x +b

Step 2) substitute (4,12 ) into equation 12 = 2(4) +b

Step 3) solve for b 12 = 8 + b

12  8  b
8  8
4b

Step 4) substitute B into equation y = 2x + 4

Model Problem 3) ANSWER

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 4 that goes through the
point (1,9) ?

Step 1) substitute slope into equation y = 4x + b

Step 2) substitute (1,9) into equation 9 = 4(1) +b

Step 3) solve for b 9  4b

4  4
5b

Step 4) Insert B into equation y = 4x + 5
