The Slope-Intercept Form is
a standard way to express
a linear equation.
Remember: A linear equation shows how the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate work together to
form a line on the coordinate plane.
Y is the y-coordinate.
M is the slope.X is the x-
coordinate.B is the y-intercept.
The Slope-Intercept Form is
Y = MX + B.
Remember:Remember: The y-coordinate tells us how far to count up The y-coordinate tells us how far to count up
or down when making our point. The y-or down when making our point. The y-coordinate is the second number in the ordered coordinate is the second number in the ordered pair. For example, if the ordered pair is (-3,5), pair. For example, if the ordered pair is (-3,5), we count up five spaces to make our point. we count up five spaces to make our point.
… … and ….and …. The x-coordinate tells us how far to count right The x-coordinate tells us how far to count right
or left when making our point. It is the first or left when making our point. It is the first number in the ordered pair. For example, if the number in the ordered pair. For example, if the ordered pair is (-3,5), we count 3 spaces to the ordered pair is (-3,5), we count 3 spaces to the left to make our point.left to make our point.
