Assignment:

find the equation of each line in standard

form with the given properties.
1. slope =3, y-intercept = 2
2. slope = ¾, y-intercept = ½
Transform the standard form into
y=mx+b.
1. 4x +2y = 6
2. 4-4y=12x
What we Know so far….

Slope Intercept Form

y  mx  b

Where m is the slope and b

is the intercept
The New Stuff… Point- Slope Form

Point- Slope form is:

y  y1  m( x  x1 )
Where m is the slope
and (x1, y1) is the
given point
A linear equation written in the form
y – y1 = m(x – x1) is in point-slope
form.

The graph of this equation is a

line with slope m passing through
the point (x1, y1).
 Example: Write the point-slope form for
the equation of the line through the point
(-2, 5) with a slope of -1/3.

Use the point-slope form, y – y1 = m(x –

x1), with m = -1/3 and
(x1, y1) = (-2, 5).

y – y1 = m(x – x1)

slope.Then, decode the
message.The first group who
can give the answer will be
given additional point in their
performance.
