Lesson #2 – 1 Slope-Intercept Form (y = mx + b) (8th grade Review)

Slope describes the steepness of a line. Slope can be represented in more than one way.

rise Δy verticalchange
(∆ means ‘change in’)
run Δx horizontalchange

y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Find the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of each graph. Write the equation of the line.

Slope-Intercept Form is y = mx + b where m represents the slope and b represents the y-
intercept.
