Writing a Line in Slope Intercept Form Lesson

Writing a Line in Slope Intercept Form Lesson

By the end of the lesson, you will be able to write an equation in slope-intercept form, given a slope and intercept, a graph, and two points.

​Writing an Equation in Slope-Intercept Form

• ​Watch the video

• ​Record the examples on your guided notes page as you watch

• ​Ask questions if you don't understand!!

Multiple Choice

What does 'b" represent in
y = mx + b

• y-intercept
• x-intercept
• nothing
• slope

Multiple Choice

What does "m" represent in y=mx+b?

• y-intercept
• slope
• macaroni
• nothing

Multiple Choice

Which value is the y-intercept in the equation:

y= 2x -2

• 2

• -2

• 1

Multiple Choice

Determine the slope and y-intercept from the following equation:   y = 3/2x + 3

• slope: 5   y-intercept:  (0,3) 
• slope: 3/2   y-intercept:  (0,3) 
• slope:  4  y-intercept:  (0,3/2)
• slope: 1/5   y-intercept:  (0,5) 

Multiple Choice

Which value is the slope in the equation:

y= 4x + 2

• 4

• 2

• x

Multiple Choice

What is the equation for the line with a slope of 7 and passes through (0,1)?

• y = -7x + 1
• y = 7x + 1
• y = -1/7x - 1
• y = -1/7x + 1

Multiple Choice

The y intercept is AWESOME! It helps us to know...

• Where our line will end.

• If our line is positive or negative.

• Where to start graphing our line.

Multiple Choice

Which equation describes the table shown:

• y = 1x + 2
• y = 1x - 2
• y = 2x + 1
• y = -2x + 2

Multiple Choice

If a line passes through (0,6) and has a slope of 2, what is the equation for the line?

• y = 2x

• y = 2x + 6

• y = 6x + 2

• y = 2x - 6
