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
