Identifying Intercepts and Slope

The y-intercept of a line is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
The x-intercept of a line is the point where the line crosses the x-axis.
The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. It is calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x.
To find the x-intercept of a line, set y = 0 and solve for x.
To find the y-intercept of a line, set x = 0 and solve for y.

Writing Equations

The point-slope form of a linear equation is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.
The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
To find the equation of a line that passes through two points, first find the slope using the slope formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Then use the point-slope form to write the equation.
Parallel lines have the same slope.
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.

Graphing Linear Equations

To graph a linear equation, you can use the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b). The y-intercept (b) gives you the starting point on the y-axis. Then, use the slope (m) to find another point on the line.
You can also graph a linear equation by plotting two points on the line and connecting them with a straight line.

Applying Linear Equations to Real-World Situations

Linear equations can be used to model real-world situations, such as the relationship between the number of hours worked and the amount of money earned.
In a linear equation, the slope represents the rate of change and the y-intercept represents the starting value.
