4.3 Linear Equations in Two Variables
Write an equation of a line given its slope and y-intercept.
Given the slope m of a line and the y-intercept b of the
line, we can determine its equation.

4.3 Linear Equations in Two Variables
Write an equation of a line, given its slope and a point on the line.
If we know the slope of a line and the coordinates of a
single point on the line, we can write the equation of the
line by substituting these values into the equation above.

Determining a Linear Equation to Describe Real Data
A veterinarian charges $45 to visit a farm where cattle are
raised. The price to vaccinate each animal is $18. Write
an equation that defines the total bill that the veterinarian
will submit to vaccinate all the cattle at the farm.
