How do you find the slope and y intercept of an equation?
The slope is the gradient which is y2-y1/x2-x1 To find the y int you set the equation of the line equal to zero i think :/
How can you find the y intercept of the graph of a linear equation?
At a y-intercept, the graph touches the y-axis, meaning the value of x is 0. So, in any linear equation, simply set x equal to 0 and solve for y. In the slope-intercept form of a linear equation (y = mx + b), the y-intercept value is represented by the variable b.
How do you turn standard equations in slope intercept equations?
slopeintercept equations are used to find the slope and intercept (obviously lol) they are set up like this y=mx+b m is the slope and b is the y-intercept lets say you have an equation like... 2x + y = 5 (now minus 2x from both sides) 2x - 2x + y = 5 - 2x (simplify) y = 5 - 2x just use algebra to turn the standard form to slope intercept form
When is a linear equation in simplest form?
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.
How do you find the slope intercept form from 2 set of points?
Suppose the two points are (a,b) and (c,d) then the slope is (b-d)/(c-a). Write that as m. Then the equation of the line is y-b = m(x-a) which can be simplified to y = mx + b-ma
