Finding Slope or the y-intercept from the
Slope-Intercept Form
By the end of the period, I will find the slope or y-intercept from linear equations in slope-intercept form as well as write equations given two or more points.
I will demonstrate this by completing Four-Square Notes and by solving problems in a pair/group activity.

Notes: How To Get To Slope-Intercept Form
Slope-Intercept Form of a Linear Equation
m = slopeb = y-intercept
Step 1) Make a table
Use the two points to calculate SLOPE (m)
x y
X1 Y1
X2 Y2
Step 2) Plug m and one point into y = mx + bSolve for b
(Y1) = m(X1) + b
Step 3) Write general formula with m and b
m = Y2 – Y1
X2 – X1

If you are given two points, how can you create a linear equation that is in slope-intercept form?
(2-3 sentences)
When given two points, I can create a linear
equation in slope-intercept form by _______________
_______________________________________________
______________________________________________
______________________________________________.
Problem AFind the slope or y-intercept given a point
Find the value of m or b if the given line passes through the given point.
(-6, -9)y = 2x + b3
Problem AFind the slope or y-intercept given a point
Find the value of m or b if the given line passes through the given point.
Substitute the coordinates of the given point into the equation and solve for b.
mx b+=y
SOLUTION
(-6, -9)y = 2x + b3
-9 = 2(-6) + b3 1
-9 = -4 + b
-5 = b
2(-6) = -12
-12/3 = -4
Problem BFind the slope or y-intercept given a point
Find the value of m or b if the given line passes through the given point.
(3, -2)y = mx + 1
Problem BFind the slope or y-intercept given a point
Find the value of m or b if the given line passes through the given point.
Substitute the coordinates of the given point into the equation and solve for m.
mx 1+=y
1+=2– ( )3m
=3– 3m
=1– m
SOLUTION
(3, -2)y = mx + 1
Write original equation.
Substitute 3 for x and -2 for y.
Subtract 1 from each side.
Divide each side by 3.
By the end of the period, I will find the slope or y-intercept from linear equations in slope-intercept form as well as write equations given two or more points.
I will demonstrate this by completing Four-Square Notes and by solving problems in a pair/group activity.
