Slope form gives you a clear image of the graph automatically as soon as you see the equation.
In any given equation y=mx+b, m is the slope, which helps you visualize how steep the graph is and in which direction it goes (increases or decreases). b is the y-intercept, which is just a fancy term for where the graph intersects the y-axis. Using slope form helps you graph the graph way easier than using another form, such as standard form (Ax+By=C. What a mess!).

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.
What is 3x-6y equals 9 in slope intercept form?
It is: y = 0.5x-1.5 in slope intercept form
What is the slope intercept form when a vertical line is passing through 5 -8?
The slope of a vertical line is undefined and so there cannot be a slope-intercept form of the equation.
What is an equation of the line that passes through the point 50 and is perpendicular to the line 5x 6y24 express your answer in slope-intercept form?
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.
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
Why is slope intercept form so important?

how slope intercept form important?
When comparing data between the x and y axes on the Cartesian plane it is important to learn about the slope-intercept straight line equation.
Why is point slope form important?
Point Slope form is important because it can give us another set of coordinate pairs when we are only given one. When you have the two coordinate pairs, we are able to find the slope of the line using Y2-Y1 ------- X2-X1 Note: The slope is used to find how much y changes(increase/decreases) when x increases by one.
How do you write point slope form in standard form?
Point slope form is standard form. To change point slope form into general form, simply multiply both sides by the denominator of the slope, and move everything onto one side.
Describe a situation in which point-slope form would be more useful than slope-intercept form?
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.
What is 10x-5y in slope form?
10x-5y in slope form = 5
Why is slope intercept form called slope intercept form?
because right away you can tell the slope and y-intercept
What does m stand for in the slope-intercept form?
Slope!
What is the standard form of a slope?
In the standard form of a linear equation:y = mx + bm is the slope* * * * *The above is the slope-intercept form, not the standard form, which isax + by + c = 0The standard form can be converted to the slope intercept form by rearranging, as follows:by = -ax - cso y = -(a/b)x -(c/b)And then, the slope (or gradient) is (-a/b).
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.
What is the slope intercept form of this equation?
The slope-intercept form of an equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Without the specific equation, it is not possible to determine the values of m and b for the slope-intercept form.
Linear equations in point slope form?
Point-slope form is written as: y-y1=m(x-x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope (hence the name, point-slope form).
