y = -5x + b
8 = b
5 = -5(2) + b
5 = -10 + b
Slope Intercept Form: y = - ½x + 8
15 = b
y = - ½x + 8
Slope Intercept Form: y = -5x + 15
½x + y = 8
Standard Form: 5x + y = 15
x + 2y = 16
Standard Form: x + 2y = 16
YOUR TURN: The line passes through
the points (2, 7) and (-1, -2)
YOUR TURN: The line has a slope of 3
and passes through the point (-2, -5).

EXAMPLE: The line is parallel to the line
EXAMPLE: The line is perpendicular to

Parallel
y = -¼x + b
Perpendicular lines have opposite

5 = b
y = -½x + b
Slope Intercept Form: y = -¼x + 5
-4 = -½(6) + b
y = -¼x + 5
-4 = -3 + b
¼x + y = 5
-1 = b
x + 4y = 20
Slope Intercept Form: y = -½x - 1
Standard Form: x + 4y = 20
Standard Form: x + 2y = -2
YOUR TURN: The line is parallel to
