Question 1036562: Can you always find the x intercept (in slope intercept form) by using the formula -b/m ? and are there more formulas (in slope intercept form) to find other characterisitcs of the line ?

y=mx+b
mx-y=-b
Let y=0
mx=-b
x=-b/m

Fails in case m is undefined, but you would know this from either the line's equation or from the graph.
