 Slope Intercept Form

slope y­intercept

Putting the equation in slope­intercept form is the same as solving for y.

­ the value of y when x = 0.­ where the line crosses the y­axis

y = mx + b

 6x + ­3y = ­12 

Graph using the Slope Intercept Method...

Graph the following lines:

1. m= 1/2, Y­intercept: (0, ­3)

2. ­6x ­ 4y = 20

5. y = ­x

6. 4x ­ y = 16

3. Points: (3, 6) and (0, 4)

4. y = ­5/6 x + 3
