for the slope, the equation is:


m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

in case you have two points

The equation of the line equation:


y=mx+b

If you want to find the interception in x-axis, you have to change the y for a 0, like this


0=mx+b
x=-(b)/(m)

If you want to find the interception in y-axis, you have to change the x for a 0, like this, that is "b" in the equation


y=m(0)+b
y=b
