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

How do you turn equations into slope intercept form?

How do you turn a slope intercept equation into a standard equation?
You place X and Y on the same side to get a standard equation.
How would you turn 8x-5y equals -40 into slop intercept?
To convert the equation 8x - 5y = -40 into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, you need to solve for y. First, isolate y by subtracting 8x from both sides to get -5y = -8x - 40. Then, divide by -5 to get y = 8/5x + 8, which is the slope-intercept form of the equation. The slope is 8/5 and the y-intercept is 8.
What is the slope and y intercept for the line y equals -2x plus 8?
Y = - 2X + 8 Just read it off the function, aY = mX + C - 2 = m(slope) 8 = Y intercept You can also zero out the variables in turn
How do you turn 2x-4y equals 8 in slope intercept form?
2x-4y = 8 2x = 4y + 8 2x - 8 = 4y 2x/4 - 8/4 = y (1/2)x - 2 = y So, y = (1/2)x - 2, where 1/2 is the slope and -2 is the y-intercept :)
