2.3 LINEAR FUNCTIONS AND SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM
SLOPE
TYPES OF SLOPE
EXAMPLE: WHAT IS THE SLOPE OF THE LINE THAT PASSES THROUGH THE TWO POINTS?
3,7 & 2,4
3,1 & 4,1
7, 3 & 7,1
LINEAR FUNCTIONS
A linear function is a function whose graph is a line.
We represent a linear function with a linear equation.
INTERCEPTS
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 that y-axis. The x-intercept of a nonhorizontal line is the
point at which the line crosses the x-axis.
SLOPE – INTERCEPT FORM
EXAMPLE: WHAT IS AN EQUATION OF THE LINE
and the y-intercept is 1
5m 0, 3
EXAMPLE: WHAT IS AN EQUATION OF THE LINE
WORKING WITH LINEAR EQUATIONS
We can rewrite a linear equation in slope – intercept form by solving for y.
EXAMPLE: WRITE THE EQUATION IN SLOPE – INTERCEPT FORM. WHAT ARE THE SLOPE AND Y-INTERCEPT.

GRAPHING A LINEAR EQUATION
1. Given an equation of a line, write the equation in slope-intercept form
2. Plot the y-intercept3. Use the slope to find a second point4. Sketch the line
EXAMPLE: GRAPH THE LINE

EXAMPLE: GRAPH THE LINE
