4.1 Write Linear Equations in slope-intercept form
• You will write equations of lines.
Essential Question:• How do you write an
equation of a line in slope-intercept form?
You will learn how toanswer this question by using theslope and y-intercept or two pointsto write an equation of the line.
Warm-Up ExercisesEXAMPLE 1 Use slope and y-intercept to write an equation
Write an equation of the line with a slope of –2 and a y-intercept of 5.
y = mx + b Write slope-intercept form.
y = –2x + 5 Substitute –2 for m and 5 for b.

Warm-Up Exercises
Substitute 10 for t and simplify.
b. Evaluate the function for t = 10.
The total cost C is given by the function C = 35t + 50 where t is the studio time (in hours).
ANSWER
Use unit analysis to check the equation.CHECK

Essential Question:
• How do you write an equation of a line in slope-intercept form?
• An equation in slope-interceptform, y = mx+ b, has slope m andy-intercept b.• Given two points on a graph, oneof which gives the y-intercept, youcan find the slope m and they-intercept b and substitute thosevalues into y = mx + b.• You can write a function inslope-intercept form given valuesof f (0), x, and f (x).
To write an equation in slope intercept form, substitute the slope for m and the y-intercept forb in the equation y = mx + b. In real-world situations, use the constant rate of change for m and the starting value for b.
