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.
