Solve your equation for

which is to say rearrange the equation according to the rules of algebra for linear equations so that it takes the form:

Once you have done that, the coefficient on

(that is the value

) is the slope and the constant term,

, is the

-coordinate of the intercept,

Note that the

-intercept is a point in

and must be specified as an ordered pair. The fact that the point is an

-intercept demands that the

-coordinate be equal to zero.
