Slide1Warm up1. Graph the equation of the line using slope & y-intercept 4x – 2y = 10
Slide2Lesson 8-5 Determining an Equation of a Line Lesson 8-5 Determining an Equation of a Line Objective: To find an equation of a line given the slope and one point on the line, or given two points on the line. Objective: To find an equation of a line given the slope and one point on the line, or given two points on the line.
Slide3Finding the Equation of aLine • If you know that the slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx + b then you can find the equation of any line if you know any 2 of the following: • a) slope • b) y-intercept • c) a point on the line • d) x-intercept ( some point in which the y is 0) ( where the line crosses the x axis)
Slide4y = mx + b• Example: if the slope is 4 and the y- intercept is -6 then the equation is • y = 4x-6
Slide5Example 2• Write the equation of a line that has a slope of - 3 and an x-intercept of 1/3. • Solution: You can plug in the slope immediately so y = -3x + b • The x-intercept is just a point on the line where y is 0, so the point is (1/3,0) • Any time you have a point you can plug it into the partial equation and then solve for the missing term. 0 = -3(1/3) + b
Slide6•Now just solve for b so 0 = -1 +b • 1 = b • Once you have b you can write the equation • y = -3x + 1
Slide7Example 3• Write the equation of the line passing through the points (1,1) and (2,4) • Solution: If you have 2 point you can find the slope so 4-1 = 3 = 3 2-1 1 • then you can use one of the points the same way we used the x-intercept in example 2 • y = 3x + b (using (1,1) • 1 = 3(1) + b • 1 = 3 + b • -2 = b • y = 3x -2 is the equation of the line
Slide8Practice• Find the equation of the line when • 1. slope is 2 and y-intercept is 15 • 2. slope is -3 and x-intercept -3 • 3. Line passes through the points (4, - 3), ( 3, -6)
