1.12.0 Lesson Overview

In this lesson, you will continue to examine and create linear models with linear equations relating two variables. You will also look at several ways to write the equation of a line based on the information given.When you finish this lesson, you will be able to:

• Write an equation of the line given the slope and $y$-intercept.
• Write an equation of the line given the slope and a point.
• Write an equation of the line given two points.

Here are the activities that will help you reach those goals:
