How Do You Write an Equation of a Line in Slope-Intercept Form If You Have the Slope and the Y-Intercept?

Write an equation in slope-intercept form with the given slope and y-intercept: m = 2, b = -2.

Summary

  1. 'm' is the slope
  2. 'b' is the y-intercept
  3. 'x' is the x-coordinate
  4. 'y' is the y-coordinate

Notes

    1. Slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b
    1. y is the y-coordinate, m is the slope, x is the x-coordinate, and b is the y-intercept
    1. y is the y-coordinate and x is the x-coordinate
    1. We know that m is 2 and b is -2, so let's plug those numbers into y=mx+b
    1. The slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b
    1. Since we already knew the the slope and the y-intercept we could just plug in those numbers in formula for slope-intercept
