Writing Linear Equations
Given Two Points

Objectives:
  • I can write the linear equation of a graph given two points on the line.​

What is a linear equation?
A linear equation has two variables that when graphed it creates a straight line.

You have previously learned how to write a linear equation given a graph. If you recall, you needed the slope and y-intercept. You found the slope by performing rise over run. In this case, you will also need the slope and y-intercept but instead of performing rise over run, you will use the slope formula to find the slope between two points.
