Slope-Intercept Form
y = mx + b

Directions: Write the equation of the line described below.

1. m = –3 b=2 6. Slope = –5 y-intercept = ¼

2. m = 1 b = –1 7. Slope = –2 y-intercept = 7

3. m = 0 b=6 8. Slope = 3 y-intercept = –4

4. m = 10 b=0 9. Slope = ¼ y-intercept = –½

5. m = ½ b = –4 10. Slope = –9 y-intercept = –7

Point-Slope Form
y – y1 = m(x – x1)
