the equation for a line is y=mx+b where x and y are any point on a line, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. this equation is usually seen with numbers plugged into m and b, and y and x are left as is.
if you want to find the y-intercept of a equation and you have a point and a slope, than you wouldn't want to use this equation. you would want to use a similar one. so lets make it with some simple algebra.
y=mx+b
subtract mx from both sides
y-mx=mx-mx+b
simplify
y-mx=b
now you have a simple formula. take the slope of the line, multiply it by the y value, and subtract that from the x value, and you will get the y-intercept.

What is the slope of the line passing through a point?
you guts are lazy bums now answer your own questions....
What is a slope used for?
It shows the relationship of y in terms of x. [y = (yIntercept) + ((slope)*(x))] [slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)]
What is the slope of the line passing through the point of 3 2 and 3 -2?
It has not got a slope because it's a vertical straight line.
How do you write an equation of a line in slope intercept form with a slope of 5 and passing through the point 0 and 6?
It is: y = 5x+6
What is the equation of a line that passes through the point 1 2 with a slope of -3?
If you mean passing through (1, 2) with a slope of -3 then it is y = -3x+5
What is the slope and yintercept of y plus 4x plus 3?
There is no slope nor intercept because there is no equation, simply an expression.
How do you find the slope of a line passing through a given pair of points?
To find the slope of a line passing through a given pair of points is found by using the point slope formula. Y(2)-Y(1) over x(2) -x(1).
What is the equation of the line with an undefined slope passing through the point 2 5?
If the slope is undefined, it is a vertical line. Therefore the equation is x=2.
