Slope-Intercept Formula

• This formula will be used to ___________and _____________ linear equations.

• To be able to use this formula, the equation you are graphing must be in this format!! This means to ______________________________________.

y mx b

write graph

Solve for “y ”

Slope-Intercept Formy = mx + b

• “x” and “y ” have to be on opposite sides of equation

• STEPS TO SOLVE FOR “Y”

• Add/Subtract the term that is on the same side of the equation with y

• Divide by the number in front

of y

Standard Form

• “x” and “y ” have to be on same side of equation

• “A” can’t be negative (AM sometimes breaks this rule)

• There can’t be any fractions

•

• STEPS • MULTIPLY BY LCD• MOVE “X” AND “Y”

TO SAME SIDE• MAKE SURE “X” IS

NOT NEGATIVE (Divide BY -1)

Ax + By = C

Now let’s use the formula to WRITE an

equation.

y bmx

m = 3, b = 1

Write an equation in slope-intercept form when given the slope and the y-intercept.

Simply replace the “m” and the “b” in the formula with the numbers and you have an equation.

__ __y x 3 13 1y x

Write an equation in slope-intercept form when given the slope and the y-intercept.

m = -3, b = 5 m = ½ , b = 1

m = 0, b = 7 m = 4, b = -2
