Algebra Lesson 2.3: The Slope-Intercept Form

Practice Exercises:

Identify the slope $m$ and the $y$-intercept $b$ in the following equations:

1. $y = 2x + 3$

2. $y= \frac{1}{3}x - 8$

3. $y = -2x+1$

Given the slope $m$ and the $y$-intercept $b$, write the equation of the line:

4. $m = 7$, $b = \frac{1}{3}$

5. $m = -0.5$, $b = -6.7$

6. $m = \frac{1}{7}$, $b = \frac{2}{9}$
