Let's use a as the x-intercept and b as the y-intercept and m as the slope.
The x-intercept is a point (a,0).
y = mx + b is called slope. y-intercept form of a linear equation. Since you need to find b, rearrange the equation to solve for b to get b = y - mx. Now use the point (a,0) n place of x and y to get b = 0 - ma, so b = -ma

Find the slope of the line: 5x - 5y = 7?
Rewrite the equation in slope intercept form y = m x + b and identify the value of m the slope. 5y = - 5x + 7 y = x - 7/5 The slope is given by the coefficient of x which is 1.
What is the slope of the line given by the equation y equals 11.2 X?
If you mean: y = 11.2x then the slope is 11.2 and there is no y intercept
What is the slope and y intercept formula?
The slope intercept formula is y=mx + b in which m is the coefficent by x, x is the slope, and b is the y-intercept which is why it is called y-intercpet or slope-intercept. An example: y=3x + 7. Here your slope is three and y-intercept 7.
