Whenever the teacher mentioned
slope, the student imagined a
revolt in the bread bakery. He
would picture all the commotion
as the ryes overrun the
bakery.

SWBAT use slopes and intercepts to


graph linear equations.

Course 3
12-3 Using Slopes and Intercepts

You can graph a linear equation easily by


finding the x-intercept and the
y-intercept. The x-intercept of a line is
the value of x where the line crosses the
x-axis (where y = 0). The y-intercept of
a line is the value of y where the line
crosses the y-axis (where x = 0).

Helpful Hint
The form Ax + By = C, where
A, B, C are real numbers, is called the Standard
Form of a Linear Equation.
