Last week we learned 3 ways of graphing a line.
The first was____________________form, which looks like 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏 and it
needs a __________ and a _____________ in order to plot the graph of the line.
The second method used a special formula, similar to the slope of a line
equation, called ___________________________. This formula needed a __________ and a
____________ in order to work its way into slope-intercept form which we can
graph.
The last method we learned gave us the situation where we are given
two points and we needed to find the graph of the line that would pass
through both points. With this method you first needed to calculate the
__________. Then with the __________ and__________________________ you take this
information at use either formula in the previous two methods to find the full
equation of this line.
Reminder from L-8 (Classifying Slopes of Lines)
 To decide if lines are parallel or perpendicular, it would be good to first
write the lines in ___________________________ form, which is 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏.
 Parallel lines have slopes that are ____________________________.
 Perpendicular lines have slopes that are ________________________________.
 Otherwise the lines just _____________________________.
