\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Transform your given point-slope form equation into slope-intercept form using the number properties and you will be able to directly read this value from the resulting equation.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-v=m%28x-u%29\"$ ------You want to put into y=mx+b form.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=m%28x-u%29%2Bv\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=mx-m%2Au%2Bv\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=mx%2Bv-m%2Au\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight_green%28y=mx%2B%28v-m%2Au%29%29\"$ The y intercept is $\"highlight_green%28v-m%2Au%29\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Your steps might vary a little but need to be consistent with what was done generally here. \n" ); document.write( "
