Write an equation in the slope intercept form

In the previous lesson, Calculating Slopeyou learned how to calculate the slope of a line. In this lesson, you are going to graph a line, given the slope. We are still going to use the definition of slope, which is: You must have at least two points to draw a line.

Slope intercept form. Formula , examples and practice problems.

Let's quickly review the steps for writing an equation given two points: Find the slope using the slope formula. Write the equation using the slope and y-intercept. Ok, now let's apply this skill to solve real world problems. Now you will have to read through the problem and determine which information gives you two points.

Perpendicular Lines

Remember a point is two numbers that are related in some way. Also remember, that when identifying a point from a word problem, "time" is always the x-coordinate.

In the first year, there were 35 participants. In the third year there were 57 participants.

Intercepts of Lines

Write an equation that can be used to predict the amount of participants, y, for any given year, x. Based on your equation, how many participants are predicted for the fifth year?

Identify your two points. This can be written as 1,35 In the third year, there were 57 participants. This can be written as 3, Therefore, our two points are 1,35 and 3,57 Let's enter this information into our chart.

Now that we have an equation, we can use this equation to determine how many participants are predicted for the 5th year. All we need to do is substitute!

Example 1: Graphing a Positive Slope

We will substitute 5 for x x is the year and solve for y.Definiton of the equation of a straight line, in 'slope and intercept' form: y = mx+b. Improve your math knowledge with free questions in "Slope-intercept form: write an equation from a graph" and thousands of other math skills.

What is the equation of this line in slope-intercept form? So any line can be represented in slope-intercept form, is y is equal to mx plus b, where this m right over here, that is of the slope of the line.

A polynomial equation, also called algebraic equation, is an equation of the form + − − + ⋯ + + + = For example, + − = is a polynomial equation.

When considering equations, the indeterminates (variables) of polynomials are also called unknowns, and the solutions are the possible values of the unknowns for which the equality is true (in general more than one solution may exist).
