| WHAT ARE THE TWO THINGS YOU CAN USE TO WRITE A LINEAR EQUATION ? | SLOPE - INTERCEPT FORM AND POINT - SLOPE FORM |
| FROM WHAT THREE WAYS YOU WILL YOU BE ASKED TO WRITE THE EQUATION OF A LINE FROM ON THE AIMS EXAM ? | GIVEN TWO POINTS ON A LINE , GIVEN THE SLOPE AND A POINT , GIVEN A GRAPH |
| WHAT SHOULD YOU DO WHEN ASKED TO WRITE AN EQUATION GIVEN TWO POINTS ON A LINE ? | FIRST FIND THE SLOPE OF THE LINE THAT PASSES BETWEEN THE TWO POINTS . THEN SUBSTITUTE THE COORDINATES OF EITHER POINT AND THE SLOPE FOR THE VARIABLES IN THE POINT - SLOPE FORMULA AND SOLVE FOR Y . |
| WHAT SHOULD YOU DO WHEN ASKED TO WRITE AN EQUATION GIVEN THE SLOPE AND ONE POINT ON A LINE ? | IF THE POINT YOU ARE GIVEN IS THE Y - INTERCEPT , SUBSTITUTE THE SLOPE AND Y - INTERCEPT FOR THE VARIABLES IN THE SLOPE - INTERCEPT FORM . IF THE POINT IS NOT THE Y - INTERCEPT , SUBSTITUTE THE COORDINATES OF THE POINT AND THE SLOPE FOR THE VARIABLES IN THE POINT SLOPE FORMULA AND SOLVE FOR Y . |
| WHAT SHOULD YOU DO WHEN ASKED TO WRITE AN EQUATION AND YOU ARE GIVEN A GRAPH ? | FROM THE GRAPH OF A LINEAR EQUATION , FIND THE SLOPE AND Y - INTERCEPT . THEN SUBSTITUTE THEM FOR THE VARIABLES IN THE SLOPE - INTERCEPT FORM . |
