1) The document provides steps for writing linear equations given the slope and a point or two points that the line passes through. 2) Examples are worked through of finding the equation of a line given its slope and one point, or given two points that the line passes through. 3) Practice problems are provided and worked through, along with a review of the process and a short quiz to assess understanding.

A linear function has a y-intercept of 3 and a slope
of 5. What's the right function rule?
A. y = 5x + 3 C. y = 3x + 5
B. y = 8x D. y = 5*3x

3. Using linear function to predict the future...
Example 1: Baby's height and age
A baby is 20 inches long at birth. Assuming her
growth is linear with a slope (or rate) of .25 inches
per month, how tall will the baby be when he'll turn
2 ?

4. Could we solve this problem with 8th grade tools...
f(x) = ...... x + .......
f(24) =

5. ·Being able to write a linear function rule
knowing the slope and the coordinates of one
point can be very helpful to predict the future.
·This will be the 1st objective we will work on this
week

6. Writing equations in slope intercept form
Obj. 1 : Knowing the slope and 1 point
Ex: Write the linear equation of a line with a slope of 3 and
going through (2, 8)

7. Step 1: Write the general form of a linear equation
y = mx + b
Step 2: Write the value of the slope for m in the
equation
here y = 3x + b
Step 3: Plug in the coordinates of the point for x
and y in order to find b
8 = 3*2 +
b
8 = 6 + b
Step 4: Write the equation in slope intercept form

8. Guided practice
Ex 1: Find the linear equation of a line going
through (1, 4) with a slope of 2

9. Ex 2: Find the linear equation of a line going
through (-2, 5) with a slope of 4

Which line has a slope of 3 and passes through the
point (1, 8)
A. y = 5x + 3 C. y = 3x + 5
B. y = 3x + 8 D. y = 1x + 8

14. Homework check and correction

15. Example 2: movie ticket price
A movie ticket price cost $5.50 in 2000. It costs in
2010, $8 on average. Assuming the increase in
price is linear and will continue to be, how much
will a movie ticket cost in 2023?

16. Correction

17. ·In situations like these, it could be very helpful to
be able to write the function rule knowing the
coordinates of the 2 points.
·This way, we can use the function rule to predict
the future..
·Writing a function rule knowing the coordinates
of 2 points will be our 2nd goal this week!

18. Writing equations in slope intercept form
Obj. 2 : Knowing 2 points the line passes through
Ex: Write the linear equation of a line passing through
(1,2) and (3,8)

19. Step 1: Write y=mx +b
Step 2: Find the slope using slope
formula
Step 3: Plug in slope into function rule
Step 4: Use one of the 2 points to find b
Step 5: Write function rule
