Unit 6: Lesson 6: Graphing in Slope-Intercept Form
Date: __________
Recall, slope-intercept form is ______________________ where m = _______________
b = ________________
To graph a line using slope and intercept:
1)
State the slope and y-intercept from the equation.
2)
Put a point at the y-intercept (go to the b-value on the vertical axis)
3)
Determine the rise and run from the slope. Start at the y-intercept, go up and over.
This is the next point.
4)
From the next point, go up and over to find another. Do this until there are 3 or 4
points. Connect the points with a line.
5)
Label the line.
Graph the following lines.
