Notes #______

Directions: Write the following in Slope Intercept Form (y = mx + b) given the slope and y-intercept.

1. The slope is

; the y-intercept is -5

____________________________

2. The slope is -8 ; the y-intercept is

____________________________

Directions: Write the equation of the line give the graph. Make sure the equation is in slope intercept

form.

Steps

Special Cases

7) 4y = 12x – 36

Steps :

1. Look to see if it is in slope intercept form (y=mx+b)

2. If not solve for y by doing the opposite operation to get rid of

the # in front of y.

3. Write in slope intercept form.

4. Name the slope (m) and the y-int. (b)

8) 8y – 4x = 24

Steps :

1. Look to see if it is in slope intercept form (y=mx+b)

2. If not get rid of the x’s first by doing the opposite operation (add

or subtract them)

3. Then solve for y by doing the opposite operation (multiply or

divide)to get rid of the # in front of y.

4. Write in slope intercept form.

5. Name the slope (m) and the y-int. (b)
