Answer: When there is no slope stated in the function of x, when y=mx+b It simply means y=0x+b Since "b" is the y intercept, your line would be a horizontal line parallel to the X-axis passing through point (0,b)

Answer: In other cases, you may need to calculate the slope first, from some other information provided. For example, if you are asked to find the equation that passes through two specified points, you can first find the slope between those two points. Then you can use this slope, and one of the points, with the slope-intercept form of the equation.
