Slope-Intercept Form
In the slope-intercept form, the graph of a linear
equation will always be a straight line in the form
y = mx + b were m is the slope of The line and b is
the y-intercept (0, b).

Slope-Intercept Form
Write the equation -3x + 4y = 8 in slope-intercept
form.
Solve for y.

Point-Slope Form
When the slope and a point on the line are known, we
can use the point-slope form to determine the line.
y  y1  m( x  x1 )
where m is the slope of the line and (x1, y1) is a point.
Example:
point (1, 3) and slope = 2:
y  3  2( x  1)
y  3  2x  2
y  2x  1
