Slope­Intercept Form ­ Review

• Slope• Rate of change (per)• Coefficient

• y­intercept• Initial value• Constant term

Step 1:  Find the slope

Step 2:  Use the slope and a single point to find the y­intercept.

Step 3:  Plug the slope and y­intercept into the equation                   . 

Example 1:  With help

Find an equation of the line that has a slope of and passes through the point (5,2).

Example 2:  On your own

Find the equation of the line in slope­intercept form that passes through the points P(­7,2) and  R(1,­4).

Step 1:  Find the slope ­ How?– You are given the slope!

– Find the slope using 2 points and the slope formula (rise/run)

– Compare the slope to another line (What does this mean?!?)

Step 2:  Use the slope and a single point to find the y­intercept.

Step 3:  Plug the slope and y­intercept into the equation. 

Writing the equation of a line in slope­intercept form

Parallel lines have the same slope, but usually different y­intercepts.

• Examples of parallel lines

Parallel Lines

Both have slope of 4Both have slope of 2/3

Both have an undefined slope (vertical)

3.5 ­ Slopes of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

Perpendicular lines have the slopes that are opposite reciprocals

> Opposite = different signs> Reciprocals = numerator and denominator are flipped

• Examples of perpendicular lines

Perpendicular Lines

Slopes are opposite reciprocals

Perpendicular with one vertical and one horizontal line.

Slopes are opposite reciprocals
