It makes it easier to work out values for x and y for graph plotting purposes.
the formula for slope intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept then figure the rest out from there
Equation
8
The slope-intercept form of the equation is y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. It is used to graph linear equations easily.
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
You need a pair of coordinates to work out the slope-intercept equation.
the formula for slope intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept then figure the rest out from there

y= 2x -6
The slope-intercept form of the equation is y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. It is used to graph linear equations easily.

The y-intercept, together with the slope of the line, can also be used in graphing linear equations. The slope and y-intercept of a line can be obtained easily by inspection if the equeation of the line is of the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The slope of a function is the y-intercept or the change in y, over the change in x.
Provide a system of equations in slope-intercept form that has one solution. Using complete sentences, explain why this system has one solution.
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.
