4 Lines in the Plane Slope The ratio of the amount of vertical change to the amount of horizontal change between two points Slope m = y y2 y1 = x x2 x1

Vertical lines have slope undefined, since x2 = x1 Point-Slope Form Equation of a line containing a point, ( x1 , y1 ) , and having slope, m y y1 = m( x x1 ) y-intercept Point where the line intersects the y-axis Slope-Intercept Form Equation of a line with slope, m, and y-intercept, (0, b) y = mx + b General Form Equation of a line, where A is a natural number, and B and C are integers Ax + By + C = 0 Vertical Line Line that only rises x=a Horizontal Line Line that only runs y=b Graph Consists of all pairs (x, y) that are solutions of that equation x-intercept Point where the line insects the x-axis Parallel Lines have same slope Perpendicular Lines have opposite reciprocal slopes Linear Model Line of Best Fit or Best Fit Line Homework Assignment P.40 1 57 odds
