Definition of slope intercept form:
The slope-intercept form is one way to write a linear equation (the equation of a line). The slope-intercept form is written as y = mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis). It's usually easy to graph a line using y=mx+b. Other forms of linear equations are the standard form and the point-slope form.
For example, if you have slope of 2 and points (4, 5) your equation will look like this:
5=2x+b
if x=4, you get 5=2(4)+b
solve for b: -3
y=2x-3

How do you rewrite y equals -2 in slope intercept form?
It is in slope intercept form. The slope is 0 and the y-intercept is -2.
If the slope of a line is 4 and the y intercept is negative 2 what is the linear equation in the slope intercept form?
slope intercept form is y=mx+b (m is slope, b is y intercept) slope = 4, y intercept = -2 y = 4x -2
Write the equation in slope intercept form of the line that has a slope of 2 and Y intercept of 2?
The slope-intercept form of an equation is: y = mx + b Just copy down this equation, then replace "m" with the slope, and "b" with the y-intercept.
How would you find the equation of a line if you were given the slope and the y-intercept?
y = {slope}x + {y intercept}
What is the 'Slope Intercept Form'?
y=mx+b where m=slope; b= y-intercept
