Do whatever valid algebraic manipulations are necessary to get the

on the left side of the equals sign all by itself, and then collect terms in the right hand side. It will look like:

when you are done. It is called the slope-intercept form because the coefficient on

, that is the

is the slope of the line and the constant term, that is the

is the

-coordinate of the

-intercept,
