Write a Linear Equation From the y-Intercept and a Point

If given the y-intercept and a point on a line, you can write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, or y = mx + b. In each problem on this eighth-grade algebra worksheet, students are given the y-intercept and a point from a linear function. Learners are then asked to write the equation of the line that passes through the given y-intercept and point in slope-intercept form, using the example provided. Learning how to write linear functions from points will help students to model both real-world and mathematical linear relationships.
