In order to find the slope and y-intercept of the line,
you must get the equation into the form
. In fact, this is called the slope-intercept form.
= slope
= y-intercept
-----------------

Subtract from both sides

Divide both sides by

Believe it or not, this is now in the correct form.
If I say

, then
is

So, the slope is and the
y-intercept is
