Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form.Graph a line using slope-intercept form.

Objectives



You have seen that you can graph a line if you know two points on the line. Another way is to use the slope of the line and the point that contains the y-intercept.



Additional Example 1: Graphing by Using Slope and y-intercept

Graph the line given the slope and y-intercept.

; y intercept = 4Slope =-25



Any linear equation can be written in slope-intercept form by solving for y and simplifying. In this form, you can immediately see the slope and y-intercept. Also, you can quickly graph a line when the equation is written in slope-intercept form.
