Page 2 Converting to Slope-Intercept Form
This page demonstrates how to convert equations between different forms using a specific example with points 2,4 and 5,−2. The process shows how to find the slope first and then use one point to write the equation.
Example The page works through finding the slope m = -2 using two points, then uses point 2,4 to write the equation y-4 = -2x−2.
Highlight The final step shows how to write in slope-intercept form by solving for y, resulting in y = -2x + 8.
Vocabulary Distributive Property is used when simplifying the equation to slope-intercept form.
Definition Slope-intercept form is written as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
