Writing Linear Equations Carousel Activity

Question

Write a linear equation in slope-intercept form for a line that passes through the point (3, 5) and has a slope of 2

Answer 1

Slope-intercept form is y = m*x + b where m is the slope and b is the intercept. As Paul have mentioned, you can go from point-slope form to manipulate it to this slope-intercept form. Alternatively, since you are already given the slope m, which is 2, you also have the choice to just substitute the point into x and y to solve for b, the intercept.

Answer 2

2=(y-5)/(x-3) is the point-slope form.

Use some algebra skills to put into slope-intercept form.
