    Writing Equations in Slope-Intercept Form
    Write an Equation Given the Slope and a Point

    Example 1: Write an equation of the line that passes
    through (4, 2) with a slope of 3.
    The line has slope 3. To find the y-intercept, replace m
    with 3 and (x, y) with (4, 2) in the slope-intercept form.
    Then solve for b.
    y = mx + b Slope-intercept form
    2 = 3(4) + b m = 3, y = 2, and x = 4
    2 = 12 + b Multiply.
    14 = b Add 12 to each side.
    Therefore, the equation is y = 3x + 14.




    Example 2: Write an equation of the line that passes
    through (2, 1) with a slope of

    .
    The line has slope

    . Replace m with

    and (x, y) with


    (2, 1) in the slope-intercept form.
    y = mx + b Slope-intercept form
    1 =

    (2) + b m =

    , y = 1, and x = 2
    1 =

    + b Multiply.

    = b Add

    to each side.
    Therefore, the equation is y =

    .

    Writing Equations in Slope-Intercept Form
    Write an Equation Given Two Points
    Example: Write an equation of the line that passes through (1, 2) and (3, 2).
    Find the slope m. To find the y-intercept, replace m with its computed value and (x, y) with (1, 2) in the slope-intercept
    form. Then solve for b.
    m =

    Slope formula
    m =


    = 2,

    = 2,

    = 3,

    = 1
    m = 2 Simplify.
    y = mx + b Slope-intercept form
    2 = 2(1) + b Replace m with 2, y with 2, and x with 1.
    2 = 2 + b Multiply.
    4 = b Add 2 to each side.
    Therefore, the equation is y = 2x + 4.

    Exercises
    Write an equation of the line that passes through each pair of points.
