Slope Intercept Form

1
Slope Intercept Form

• 5-4-2

2
Y intercept

• The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses
  the y axis.
• At this point the value of x is 0.
• To find the y-intercept, plug 0 in for x in the
  linear equation and solve for y.
• y3x-6 (0, -6)

3
X intercept

• The x-intercept is the point where a line crosses
  the x axis.
• At this point the value of y is 0.
• To find the x-intercept, plug 0 in for y in the
  linear equation and solve for y.
• y3x-6 (2, 0)

4
Slope

• y3x-6
• (2, 0) and (0, -6)

5
Slope Intercept Form

• ymx b
• m is slope
• b is the y intercept
• y3x-6
• The slope is 3
• The y intercept is -6
• Plot (0, -6) then count slope
