The equation for a Point-Slope Form of a line is:
y-y1=m%28x-x1%29
.
The equation for Slope-Intercept Form of the Line is:
y=mx%2Bb
.
Now, all we need to do is substitute the x and y values to answer the question.
.
Problem: x-intercept is -6 ; y-intercept is 2
.
In the Point-Slope eqn, you substitute the x1 and y1 variables. So:
%28y-2%29=mx-%28-6%29
%28y-2%29=mx%2B6
.
Slope-intercept form:
2=m%28-6%29%2Bb
