Writing Linear Equations When Given the Slope and One Point

As we continue building on our understanding of linear equations, we explored the idea on how we can easily write equations for lines when we know the slope and the y-intercept. If we consider the y-intercept to be a point, then we can substitute the x and y values into the slope-intercept equation to determine what b will be for the equation. We worked through many equations and students felt fairly comfortable with the main ideas of this lesson.
