2.4 quick Graphs of linear<br />

Equations<br />

Goal p Use slope-intercept form and standard form to<br />

graph equations.<br />

Vocabulary<br />

y-intercept The y-coordinate of a point where a<br />

graph intersects the y-axis<br />

Slope-intercept form A linear equation written in the<br />

form y 5 mx 1 b where m is the slope and b is the<br />

y-intercept of the equation’s graph<br />

x-intercept The x-coordinate of a point where a<br />

graph intersects the x-axis<br />

Standard form of a linear equation A linear equation<br />

written in the form Ax 1 By 5 C where A and B are<br />

not both zero<br />

GraphinG EquaTionS in SlopE-inTErcEpT Form<br />

Step 1 Write the equation in slope-intercept form by<br />

solving for y .<br />

Step 2 Find the y-intercept and plot the<br />

corresponding point.<br />

Step 3 Find the slope and use it to plot a second<br />

point on the line.<br />

Step 4 Draw a line through the two points .<br />
