∙ 14y agoWhen the slope is undefined, you know the line has to be vertical. Vertical lines only have an x in their equations. When you have the coordinates (2,4) with a vertical line, the equation for the slope intercept AND standard form would be the same thing: x=2

∙ 14y agoThe two intercept forms in math are used mostly in graphing. They would be both x-intercept (or x-intercepts), and y-intercept (or y-intercepts)
y=mx+b is the equation of a line in the plane in slope intercept form. The m is the slope and the b is the y intercept. There are many other forms of equations of lines.
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.
To solve for intercepts on a straight line graph put the equation in the form y=mx+c where c is the y-intercept and you have the y intercept. Now to solve x-intercept set y=0 eg y=2x+5 0=2x+5 2x=-5 x=-2.5 For intercepts on other forms of graphs eg parabola y-intercept= make x equal to 0 and solve x-intercept= make y equal to 0 and solve
here is the formula... y-y1=m(x-x1) solution.. y-(-1)=m(x-(-1)) m= (0,-5) (-1,-1) -1-5/-1-0= -6/-1 or +6/6 y-(-1)=6(x--1) y+1=6(x+1) y+1=6x+6 y=6x+6-1 y=6x+5 form of y=mx+b y=6x+5 form of Ax+By+C=0 6x-y+5=0
A linear equation can be written in many different forms. Two forms are used frequently. ax+by=c is standard form as y=mx+b is slope intercept form.

Such an equation can be written in several standard forms; here are two of them: Ax + By + C = 0 y = mx + b (that's the "slope-intercept form")
The "Patriot Act."
y=mx+b is the equation of a line in the plane in slope intercept form. The m is the slope and the b is the y intercept. There are many other forms of equations of lines.
There is not one, but several, standard forms for the equation of a line: for example, the slope-intercept form (which is basically the equation, solved for variable "y"); the form Ax + By + c = 0; and others.
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+bif x=4, you get 5=2(4)+bsolve for b: -3y=2x-3
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 are many different standard forms: standard forms of numbers, of linear equations, of circles, etc. The standard form of numbers simplifies working with very large and very small numbers.

There are several standard forms; none is really any simpler than the others. Here are two froms commonly used for two variables: Ax + By + C = 0 This is standard, in a way, since it is common to set the right side of an equation equal to zero. This form is easy to extend to more than two dimensions (variables). y = mx + b The slope-intercept form. The equation is solved for "y"; the slope ("m") and the y-intercept ("b") can be read directly from the equation.
