The slope-intercept form of a linear equation of a non-vertical line is given by: Slope-Intercept Form of a Linear Equation
Example 1 Determine the slope and the y-intercept given Compare the equation to the slope-intercept form The coefficient of x is the slope, so The y-intercept is indicated by the constant, so
Example 2 Determine the slope and the y-intercept given Compare the equation to the slope-intercept form The coefficient of x is the slope, so The y-intercept is indicated by the constant, so
Example 3 Determine the slope and the y-intercept given Rewrite the equation Slope: y-intercept
Example 4 Determine the slope and the y-intercept given Write the equation in slope intercept form
Slope: y-intercept
Example 5 Determine the slope and the y-intercept given Write the equation in slope intercept form
Slope: y-intercept
