Where does the graph cross the x-axis?
Where does the graph cross the y-axis?
These points are called the x-intercept and y-intercept.

Finding x- and y-intercepts
To find the x-intercept, let y = 0 and solve for x.
To find the y-intercept, let x = 0 and solve for y.

Slope
Lines can be slanted in many different ways.
We use slope to measure a lines slant. The green line has a big slope, because it is slanted sharply. Because the red line is close to flat, it has a small slope. These lines have positive slope.
![Page 12: 10/5/2015 V. J. Motto 1 Chapter 1: Linear Models V. J. Motto M110 Modeling with Elementary Functions 1.3 Two Important Questions (Revisited)](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110210/56649e875503460f94b8a74a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

04/19/23 V. J. Motto 13
Putting Slope in perspective
We can tell whether a line’s slope is big or small, and whether the slope is positive or negative.
How can we quantify this idea of slope so that we can compare slopes?
Let’s start with a definition of slope.
![Page 14: 10/5/2015 V. J. Motto 1 Chapter 1: Linear Models V. J. Motto M110 Modeling with Elementary Functions 1.3 Two Important Questions (Revisited)](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110210/56649e875503460f94b8a74a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
04/19/23 V. J. Motto 14
The Definition of Slope --- 1
Slope is defined as the change in the y-coordinates divided by the change in the x-coordinates. People often remember this definition as “rise/run”

Comments on Slope
Vertical lines Points on these types of lines have the same x-
coordinate. Hence, their slope is undefined because we would
be dividing by 0 when we calculate it.
Horizontal lines Points on these types of lines have the same y-
coordinate. Hence, their slope is 0 because the numerator is 0.

04/19/23 V. J. Motto 21
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Parallel lines have the same slope
Perpendicular lines have slope that are the negative reciprocal of each other: that is, the product of their slopes is -1 or m1*m2 = -1.

04/19/23 V. J. Motto 22
Slope-Intercept Form
Linear equations of the formy = mx + b
have slope-intercept form.
The coefficient of the x term is the slope and the b value is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept which is (0, b).
We can easily read the slope and discover the coordinate for the y-intercept by inspection of the equation.

Transposing
Often we are given the equation of a line in the standard form
Ax + By = C
Then we are asked to change it to the slope-intercept form
y = mx + b
This is easily accomplished by solving the standard form for the variable y.

Parallel or Perpendicular
Other types of problems will ask us to compare the slopes of two lines in order to decide if the lines are parallel (same slope) or perpendicular (the product of slopes is -1).

Finding the equation
We explore in the next example the first type of “finding the linear equation” type of problems. Here we are given the slope and the y-intercept. Using the slope-intercept form, y = mx +b, renders these type of problems quickly.
We will explore other types in our next lecture.

Finding equations
In the previous study we have developed strategies for finding the equation of a line. Given the slope, m, and the coordinates of the y-
intercept, (0, b) we can use the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, to generate the equation of a line.
Here we explore some other situations. You are given: The slope and a point of the line Two points.
For these situations we use the point-slope form.
![Page 31: 10/5/2015 V. J. Motto 1 Chapter 1: Linear Models V. J. Motto M110 Modeling with Elementary Functions 1.3 Two Important Questions (Revisited)](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110210/56649e875503460f94b8a74a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
04/19/23 V. J. Motto 31
Point-Slope Form
The point-slope form of the equation of a line is
y – y1 = m(x – x1)
where m is the slope of the line and
(x1, y1) is a point on the line.
![Page 32: 10/5/2015 V. J. Motto 1 Chapter 1: Linear Models V. J. Motto M110 Modeling with Elementary Functions 1.3 Two Important Questions (Revisited)](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110210/56649e875503460f94b8a74a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
04/19/23 V. J. Motto 32
Example 10:
Find the equation of the line passing through (-1, 5) with slope -2.
Since the slope of the line is given, we know that m = -2. Thus, we have
y – y1 = -2(x – x1)
Now using the coordinates of the point (-1, 5), we have the following y – 5 = -2(x – (-1))which becomes y – 5 = -2(x + 1)
![Page 33: 10/5/2015 V. J. Motto 1 Chapter 1: Linear Models V. J. Motto M110 Modeling with Elementary Functions 1.3 Two Important Questions (Revisited)](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110210/56649e875503460f94b8a74a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
04/19/23 V. J. Motto 33
Example 10 (continued)
If we want to express the equation in slope-intercept form, we have
y – 5 = - 2x - 2 y = - 2x + 3But if we want to express the equation in
standard form, we have y = - 2x + 3 2x + y = 3

04/19/23 V. J. Motto 34
Two Points
Most often when we are looking for the equation of a line we are only given two points. Thus, the technique becomesFinding the slopeUsing the slope-point form
Our next example illustrates this situation.

Example 13:
Find an equation of the line parallel to the line y = 5 and passing through the point (-2, -3).
Since the graph of y = 5 is a horizontal line, any line parallel to it is also horizontal.
The equation of a horizontal line can be written in the form y = c.
An equation for the horizontal line passing through (-2, -3) is y = -3.

Intersecting Lines
Consider the two equations:y = 3x – 5y = -2x + 6
The graph is shown at the right. You should observe that they intersect.

Find the Intersection
Press 2nd Trace. Choose option
5:intersection You want to use the first
equation. You want to use the
second equation. Yes, you want the
calculator to “guess” or calculate the intersection

Forms of Linear Equations
Form Description
Ax + By = C Standard Form.
A and B are not both 0
y = mx + b Slope-intercept Form.
Slope is m; y-intercept is (0, b)
y – y1 = m(x - x1) Point-slope Form
Slope is m; (x1, y1) is a point of the line
y = c Horizontal Line
Slope is 0; y-intercept is (0, c)
x = c Vertical Line
Slope is undefined; x-intercepet is (c, 0)
