This document provides examples and instructions for writing linear equations in slope-intercept form using different information about a line. It explains that to write the equation you need the slope and y-intercept, and gives examples of finding these values when given the slope and a point, or when given two points to calculate the slope. The document emphasizes that a point on the line satisfies the equation and shows how to use the slope and a point to determine the y-intercept and write the final equation.

5. Writing Equations To write an equation in slope-intercept form, you need the slope and the y-intercept of the line.

6. Given: Slope and one point Reminder: A point on the line is a solution to the equation.

7. Example 3

8. Given: Two points Reminder: You can find the slope between two points.

9. Given: Two points Reminder: You can find the slope between two points. When you find the slope, use it and one of the points to find the y-intercept and write the equation.
