EXAMPLE 4 Write an equation given two points You know the slope and a point on the line, so use point-slope form with either given point to write an equation of the line. Choose (x1, y1) = (4, – 7). y2– y1=m(x –x1) Use point-slope form. y–10=–4(x –2) Substitute for m, x1, and y1. y –10 = – 4x + 8 Distributive property y = – 4x + 8 Write in slope-intercept form.
EXAMPLE 5 Write a model using slope-intercept form Sports In the school year ending in 1993, 2.00 million females participated in U.S. high school sports. By 2003,the number had increased to 2.86 million. Write a linear equation that models female sports participation.
EXAMPLE 5 Write a model using slope-intercept form SOLUTION STEP 1 Define the variables. Let x represent the time (in years) since 1993 and let yrepresent the number of participants (in millions). STEP 2 Identify the initial value and rate of change. The initial value is 2.00. The rate of change is the slope m.
2.86 – 2.00 0.86 = = 10 –0 10 y2 – y1 m= x2 –x1 EXAMPLE 5 Write a model using slope-intercept form Use (x1, y1) =(0, 2.00) and (x2, y2) = (10, 2.86). = 0.086 STEP 3 Write a verbal model. Then write a linear equation.
y = 2.00 + 0.086 x ANSWER In slope-intercept form, a linear model is y = 0.086x + 2.00. EXAMPLE 5 Write a model using slope-intercept form

for Examples 4 and 5 GUIDED PRACTICE GUIDED PRACTICE SOLUTION STEP 1 Define the variables. Let x represent the time (in years) since 1993 and let yrepresent the number of participants (in millions). STEP 2 Identify the initial value and rate of change. The initial value is 3.42. The rate of change is the slope m.
