Writing Linear Equations — Easy Worksheet 2
Grade 8 · MathSheets Name: ____________________ Date: __________
Write the equation of each line in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.
How to solve
Find the slope m = change in ychange in x. Then find b, the y-intercept: substitute one point into y = mx + b and solve for b (or read where the line crosses the y-axis). Write the equation as y = mx + b.
Example
A line has slope -2 and y-intercept 0. Write its equation.
