It means the point at which the straight line cuts through the y axis.
Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (2, -8).
It is in slope intercept form. The slope is 0 and the y-intercept is -2.
The equation is x = -7.
Here is how to solve it. First, find the slope of the given line. To do this, solve the equation for "y". That will convert the equation to the slope-intercept form. From there, you can immediately read off the slope. Since parallel lines have the same slope, the line you are looking for will have the same slope. Now you need to use the point-slope form of the equation, with the given point, and the slope you just calculated. Finally, solve this equation for "y" to bring it into the requested slope-intercept form.
Point intercept form is the almighty form that governs all equations in mathematics involving the variables "X" and "Y", when "X" refers to the independent variable and "Y" refers to the dependent variable. It is the mother of all forms, the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end...... But seriously, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE POINT-INTERCEPT FORM!!!! There IS point-slope form as well as slope-intercept form, but NO point-intercept form.
Yes.
no it is different
You use point-slope form to find the equation of a line if you only have a point and a slope or if you are just given two point. Usually you will convert point-slope form to slope-intercept form to make it easier to use.
The slope intercept form is y = mx + c where the coefficient of y must be 1. Then c is the y-intercept ie the point (0,c) lies on the line.
y=mx+b is slope-intercept form y - y1 = m(x - x1) is point-slope form Used in algebra based math. On a graph; m is the slope b is the y-intercept x and y represent points
It means the point at which the straight line cuts through the y axis.
In the case that you are using Slope-Intercept Form, no, you only plot two points: the y-intercept and one other point. If you don't use Slope-Intercept Form, then you have to use three points.
Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of 2 and contains the point (1, 1).
The point is called the y-intercept and will be in the form (0, Y).
It is: y = mx+b whereas m is the slope and b is the y intercept
1) You write the equation in slope-intercept form, if it isn't in that form already. 2) An easy way to graph it is to start with the y-intercept. For example, if the intercept is +5, you graph the point (0, 5). Then you add an additional point, according to the slope. For example, if the slope is 1/2, you go 2 units to the right, and one up, and graph a point there.
