The slope intercept form of a linear equation has the following form where the equation is solved for y in terms of x:
y = a + bxb is the slopea is a constant term. It is the y intercept, the place where the line crosses the y axis. Example 1y = -13 + 7xThis equation is in slope intercept form. The y intercept is (0,-13) and the slope is 7.Example 24x + 3y = 12Rewrite this equation in slope intercept form.3y = 12 - 4xThe equation is now in slope intercept form. The y intercept is (0,4) and the slope is
-4/3. Example 35x - 3y - 15 = 0Rewrite this equation in slope intercept form.3y = -15 + 5xThe equation is now in slope intercept form. The y intercept is (0,-5) and the slope is
5/3.Example 4The equation is now in slope intercept form. The y intercept is (0,-7.5) and the slope is
1.5.
