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. \(m = \frac{1}{7}\), \(b = \frac{2}{9}\)
