m and b

  • m is the variable representation for slope

  • b is the variable representation for the y-intercept

11

Let's discuss the y-intercept first! (Pay attention because you will be asked questions.)

12

Define the y-intercept

Definition

The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point where the graph of a relation intersects the y-axis.

13

Hotspot

Click on the y-intercept on the graph.

14

Define the y-intercept

The y-intercept can be written as a coordinate point! The y-intercept on this graph is (0, 4). Notice that for the y-intercept, the value of the x coordinate is 0. This will always be true!

Definition of Slope

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness and direction. A line that rises from left to right has positive slope. A line that falls from left to right has negative slope. Look at slope guy Bob!

Creating a Linear Function from a Graph

Now, you understand how to find the slope, m, and the y-intercept, b.
This means that you know how to create a linear function from a graph.

41

Drag and Drop

Match

Match each graph to the correct function.

f(x)=−34x+2f\left(x\right)=-\frac{3}{4}x+2

f(x)=−34x−2f\left(x\right)=-\frac{3}{4}x-2

f(x)=34x−2f\left(x\right)=\frac{3}{4}x-2

43

Graphing Linear Functions

To graph a linear function, you need a minimum of two points. More points the better but you only need two! Follow the steps below:

1) Plot the y-intercept first

2) Use the slope as a road map to find the second point

3) Use the slope to find another point
