Writing an Equation

You can use an equation to represent an algebraic relationship.

The input or independent variable represents the x-values.

The output or dependent variable represents the y-values.

An equation represents the relationship between the independent and the dependent quantities.

y = mx +b

• m = slope

• b = y -intercept of the line

Multiple Choice

LInear Equations

Unit 5

#1 Identify the slope and y-intercept from equation and graph

#2 Write the equation for a line in slope-intercept form

Multiple Choice

The equation of the graph is

• y = 4x - 5

• y = 5 - 2x

• y = 2x + 5

• y = 3x + 5

Slope from slope-intercept form

If the equation is in slope-intercept form (solved for y), then the slope is the number IN FRONT OF the x. NOT the x.

Example: y = mx + b, m is the slope. NOT mx.

mx + b = y, m is still the slope.

Multiple Select

Choose all of the equations in which the slope is -5.

• y = -5x + 2

• y = 2x - 5

• 7 - 5x = y

• -5x + y = 7

Parallel Slopes

In order for two lines to be parallel, the slopes of their equations must be the same.

Multiple Select

Select the two equations that would create parallel lines.

• $$y=\frac{2}{3}x-9$$

• $$y=-\frac{3}{2}x\ +\ 6$$

• $$y=-\frac{2}{3}x-5$$

• $$y=\frac{3}{2}x+9$$

• $$y=\frac{2}{3}x-4$$
