Find the equation of the line
having a slope of ¾ and
passing through ( 2, 5 ).
Solution
Given : m = ¾ and passing
through ( 2,5 )
y – y1 = m ( x – x1 )
y–5=¾(x–2)
y – 5 = ¾ x – 6/4
y = ¾ x – 6/4 + 5
y = ¾ x + 7/2
Another solution
m = ¾ and passing through ( 2, 5 )
y – y1 = m ( x – x1 )
y–5=¾(x–2)
4(y–5)=3(x–2)
4y – 20 = 3x – 6
4y = 3x – 6 + 20
4y = 3x + 14

Finding Slopes and
y - intercepts from
Equations
y = mx + b
Objectives:
Change
a linear equation to
the form y = mx + b.
Determine
the slope of a line
and the y-intercept from the
given equations.
Thoughts to Ponder
To
determine the slope and
y – intercept from a given equation,
solve the equation for y in terms of x
and express the resulting equation in the
form y = mx + b. The coefficient of the xterm is the slope (m) and the constant
term b represents the y-intercept.
Example:
Find
the slope of the line and yintercept of 8x + y = 10.
Solution:
Given: 8x + y = 10
y = mx + b
y = -8x + 10
Therefore the slope is -8 and the yintercept is 10.
Example
Find the slope and y-intercept in
the line 2x + 2y = 12
Solution:
2x + 2y = 12
2y = -2x + 12

Mathematical Concepts
Standard
This
Form Ax + By = C
is one of the two forms of a
linear equation. The letters A, B,
and C represent numbers. The
numbers may not be fractions.
Examples
1.
Change the equation y = -2x + 5 in
Standard Form
Given: y = -2x + 5
Solution: Just put all the variable terms on
the left side of the equation.
Note: x – term must comes first
Answer:
2x + y = 5
Examples
2. Change the equation y = 3x - 8 in Standard
Form
Given: y = 3x - 8
Solution: Just put all the variable terms on
the left side of the equation.
Note: the value of a should always be
positive
-3x + y = -8
-3x + y = -8 Multiply by -1
3x – y = 8
Examples
3. Change the equation y = -2/3x - 7 in
Standard Form
Given: y = -2/3 x - 7
Solution: Just put all the variable terms on
the left side of the equation.
Note: there must be no fractions in A, B, or C
2/3 x + y = -7
2/3 x + y = -7
Multiply by 3
2x + 3y = -21
