When the equation of the line starts with y= on one side, the equation is in the unique slope-intercept from, and the number multiplied times x is the slope.
in the slope-intercept form and the slope is .
Parallel lines have the same slope.
Based on point (2,-7), the equation of the line with slope and passing through that point can be written in point-slope form as
-->
The equation can be transformed into the slope-intercept form
--> --> -->
