The first of the forms for a linear equation is $\"slope-intercept\"$ form. Equations in $\"slope-intercept\"$ form look like this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=mx%2B-b\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "where $\"m\"$ is the $\"slope\"$ of the line and $\"b\"$ is the $\"y-intercept\"$ of the line, or the $\"y-coordinate\"$ of the point at which the $\"line\"$ $\"+crosses\"$ the $\"y-axis\"$ . \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, you have:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+%96+2+=+5%28x+%2B+7%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=+5%28x+%2B+7%29%2B2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=+5x+%2B+35%2B2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28y=+5x+%2B+37%29\"$ ......... $\"slope-intercept\"$ form\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=5\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"b=37\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+45%2C+5x+%2B+37%29+\"$
