Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b
by: Ms. Macias

2
y=mx+b
Slope-intercept form is a format we use to write the equation of a line.
each letter represents something different
m = slope
b= y-intercept
y= all the y-coordinate values on the line
x= all the x-coordinate values
3
Multiple Choice
What does "b" represent in y=mx+b?
slope
y-intercept
all the y-coordinate values on the line
all the x-coordinate values on the line
4
Multiple Choice
What does "m" represent in y=mx+b?
slope
y-intercept
all the y-coordinate values on the line
all the x-coordinate values on the line
5
Identifying m & b in equations (y=mx+b)
y= 4x - 3 ..... m= 4 , b= -3
y = -3x + 7 ..... m= -3 , b= 7
y = x - 8 ..... m= 1 , b= -8
y = -x ..... m= -1 , b= 0
y = 5x + 10 ..... m= 5 , b= 10
6
Multiple Choice
y = -7x +9
Identify the slope
m= 9
m=-7
m= 7x
m= -7x
7
Multiple Choice
y = -7x +9
Identify the y-intercept
b= 9
b=-7
b= 7x
b= -7x
8
Multiple Choice
y = -x -10
Identify the m & b
m= -x , b= -10
m= -x , b= 10
m= -1 , b= -10
m= -1 , b= 10
9
