\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add -5 to both sides. The slope is then the coefficient on x and the constant term is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept. Don't let anyone, including your teacher, tell you that the constant term in the slope-intercept form IS the intercept, because it most assuredly is not. An intercept is a point and a point must be represented by an ordered pair. So if the constant term is b, then the y-intercept is (0,b).\r
