Exercise 14 Page 228

What information can the y=mx+b form of an equation give us?

Practice makes perfect

To graph the given equations, we should start by using the y=mx+b form of each equation to identify the key features of their graphs.

Given Equation y=mx+b Growth Factor m y-intercept b
y=2x+3 y= 2x+ 3 2 (0, 3)
y=x+1 y= 1x+ 1 2 (0, 3)

We can start by plotting their y-intercepts. Then, we will use the growth factor to determine another point that satisfies each equation and connect the points with a line.

We can see that the lines intersect at exactly one point.

We found and labeled the point of intersection at ( -2, - 1).
