Best Answer

Say your two points are (-1,-2) and (3,4). Your y intercept is where the line your two points make crosses the y axis. You find this by taking one of your coordinates, (3,4) and you substitute it into the equation y = mx + c.

y = mx + c

4 = 3x + c

4 - 3 = c

c = 1

The first number in your coordinate is your x value and the second is your y value. (x,y)

Wouldn't you need to find slope first then use 3 as your x value and multiply by the slope to find the y intercept?

Does it matter which points you use to find the slope?

No. If you have more than two points for a linear function any two points can be used to find the slope.

What would the equation of a line be if it went through the point 2 comma 2 and its yintercept was 10?

We know that the line passes through points (2, 2) and (0, 10) (since the y-intercept is 10).Using these two points, we can find the slope of the line,m = (10 - 2)/(0 - 2) = 8/-2 = 4/-1 = -4.Now by using the slope, m = -4, and the y-intercept, 10, we can write the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b which isy = -4x + 10.
