Substitute the given values into the slope-intercept form of an equation to find the y-intercept. Then write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.
y = ____, m = ____, and x = ____
y = mx + b
____ = -1 (____) + b
____ + ____ = b
____ = b
The y-intercept is ____
The equation of the line is y = ____ x + ____
Turn and Talk Will the graph of y = 3x - 3 pass through the origin? If so, how do you know? If not, what is the y-intercept?

Answer

1. y = 2, m = 3, and x = 1

  1. y = mx + b
  2. 2 = -1 (3) + b
  3. 2 + 3 = b
  4. 5 = b

The y-intercept is 5

The equation of the line is y = 3x + 5

Turn and Talk: The graph of y = 3x - 3 will not pass through the origin because the y-intercept is -3, not 0.
