2.3 Linear Functions and Slope-Intercept Form• The slope of a nonvertical line is the ratio of the vertical
change to the horizontal change between two points.
• You can calculate slope by finding the ratio of the difference in the y-coordinates to the difference in the x-coordinates for any two points on the line.

Linear Functions
• A function whose graph is a line is a linear function.
• You can represent a linear function with a linear equation, such as y = 6x – 4.
• A solution of a linear equation is any ordered pair (x , y) that makes the equation true.

Slope-Intercept Form
• A special form of a linear equation is called slope-intercept form.
• An intercept of a line is a point where a line crosses an axis.– The y-intercept of a nonvertical line is the point at which
the line crosses the y-axis.
– The x-intercept of a nonhorizontal line is the point at which the line crosses the x-axis.

Slope-Intercept Form
• The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and (0 , b) is the y-intercept.

Writing Linear Equations
• What is an equation of each line?
A.m = 2 and the y-intercept is (0 , - 5)
y = mx + b
y = 2x – 5
B.(0 , 4) and (1 , 1)
m = -3
y = mx + b
y = -3x + 4
